"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

I can't see that printing so much money that before long the interest on the FedGov debt will equate to the total income-tax yield can properly be called an "Agenda". Why would anyone want to achieve that? The CNBC headline is bogus.
Nor, alas, will it lead to an i-tax revolution. There are many i-tax resisters who have mistakenly held, ever since a badly-worded phrase in the Grace Report was published, that "all your income taxes go to pay interest on the debt. If a Central Bank were to replace the Fed, all of it would be saved!" That may change in the future, but so far they have never been right.
