It may be a large caveat,but at least it doesn't try to frame national debt as the same kind of debt as households deal with when they take out a loan. It is fundamentally different. Debtors can't print money to pay off a loan.

Also inflation does not just happen if you print money. The increased demand has to meet a lack of supply. Most historical cases of hyper inflation involved disruptions to supply capacity. America is not really in that position, and I suspect this is one of the reasons we see few signs of inflation these days in America.
