    If it was a corporation, absolutely. It’s part of the risks they’re taking on as a business. But for a government, which is by definition non profit, you kinda have to mandate return of the funds. Otherwise the government as a whole could collapse.

      The government won’t collapse. They literally have a money printer.

        This only works if you’re America, and even then only somewhat. Everybody else has to fear other places not valuing their currency as highly.
