>is the US government going to pay a dividend?

First, the US government would have to turn a profit...



If you think of the population as the government (a democracy, in other words) then our gross domestic product is our collective revenue. How we allocate that revenue to different accounts -- yours, mine, roads, military, etc. -- is just accounting.


Who needs profit when you can sell treasuries to central banks?
