the claim

Higher inflation reduces the real value of US federal debt relative to the size of the economy.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that higher inflation reduces the real value of US federal debt relative to the size of the economy?

Partly. One item implies inflation erodes the real value of a fixed nominal debt, and two items on US debt revaluation find the effect on the fiscal burden modest or conditional on regime uncertainty. No retrieved source settles the general claim about US federal debt relative to the size of the economy.
