"Printing" doesn't resolve any problems. If it did, we wouldn't need to do it over and over. Have you heard of hyperinflation? Do you know where "printed" money tends to end up (hint: it's neither in your pocket nor mine)?

Why borrow cash when they can just print more money? Same effect.

It's not other people's money, it's the government's money! They printed it.

Printing money is debasing currency, no? We are stealing purchasing power from every holder of dollars.
