Oh, ffs, this is just another debt ceiling scare. The debt ceiling is worthless, regardless of your economic orientation.
Edit: for all the dipshits saying brrrrr, this is a fiscal limitation, not a monetary one. The debt ceiling is a useless legislative relic.

40% of US dollars in circulation were printed last year.
You can’t just keep printing money and not seizing some of the wealth back from the 1%. Land tax (Georgist FTW. Landchads BTFO) is a great option that would frick over a lot of the billionaires.

First and foremost, the debt ceiling has frickall to do with M1 or M2. It's a bureaucratic checkbox. Thanks for playing.
And it's resulted in 4 months of ~5% inflation that's already beginning to taper off. That's a pretty good indication that we're in new territory.
There are many ways you can "print". Be more specific.
Why are you bringing up M1 if you're worried about asset prices? Where were you a decade ago?
Georgism is spiffy, but it's far too limited to address wider monetary issues.

Hi, Guh! Landlord here. Due to increased costs of operation, we have no choice but to raise your rent by 20%.
Remember, rent is due at the end of each month. Pay up, wagie!

Debt to be collected is accounts receivable. Accounts receivable and cash are both assets, but they are not the same.
