This document discusses a USD project and outlines potential issues and alternatives. It notes that a worker earning $20/hour would earn $41,600 annually but that living costs are projected to increase 136% over 11 years due to 9% annual inflation. It identifies several potential "shock events" that could further increase the national debt and inflation. Finally, it poses questions about which current or alternative currency options may be preferable in the long run, such as gold-backed or crypto currencies, and under what economic conditions citizens would seek to transition away from the USD.
