Is there a point at which the Government simply cannot afford to
bail out anyone else?

Or will we bail out everyone regardless and then try to deal with the fallout later?

1. The way I understand it, since the government can print money
it will never go out of business and though that cuts the value of the dollar, the dollar is still there. Or the base of assets on which the country exists is still great and always there.

I remember it being explained in relation to why T bills are the most conservative investment.
