Now that I think about it it's even sillier than that. It's not just the government promising to pay itself, it's promising to pay itself in a currency it creates! So it's not even [DHT]Osiris paying himself $100, he's paying himself 100 OsirisBucks which he can create by writing on the back of a napkin.
that's how fiat currency works, in a nutshell. its almost like a religion, the only thing that keeps it going is the users faith in the guy writing on the napkin/dollar bill
