If you Google:

"fiat currency debt spending"

Here is the first AI result: (bold emphasis is mine)

• Fiat currency is a government-issued currency not backed by a physical commodity (like gold) but by the issuing government's credibility.

• Governments can issue debt (bonds) to finance spending, and this debt is typically denominated in the nation's fiat currency.

• The ability to create and manage fiat currency gives governments flexibility in responding to economic needs and influencing monetary policy.

• However, excessive debt can lead to concerns about the government's ability to repay, potentially eroding trust in the currency and leading to inflation or devaluation.

• Inflationary effects: Increased government spending, especially when financed by printing more fiat money, can lead to inflation if the money supply grows faster than the economy's production of goods and services.

• Inflation risks:  Excessive reliance on debt and monetization (printing money to finance debt) can lead to inflation or hyperinflation, eroding the currency's purchasing power.

If you have a source stating anything close to what you've been saying instead, nows the time to use it. Otherwise, you are objectively wrong, and above is the proof.

(And Clinton's surplus is the crash you want to focus on? Really? Anything else maybe happen around that time in 2001 to cause that market issue instead? Maybe something in September you were never supposed to forget if you are an actual American?)
