      I don’t understand why anyone would select travel miles/points when cash can be spent on anything and doesn’t expire.

    The US, like all governments, can simply create money. Unlike most commodities, modern currencies are gated only by the choice to do so. Just change the number in the computer. Trump can simply choose to create money and give it to himself. That’s what he wants, which is why he’s hounding the fed to reduce rates, so he can create more money. Then he just gives it to himself and his allies through some obvious scheme or direct it to his efforts, despite no congressional approval of the funds purpose. The massive increase in expenditures of the US government is just Trump printing money to give himself and his allies. It’s insane to give someone like Trump control of a system whose only real barrier is a choice.
