in reply to Government Spending

ARRRGGG! This is one of my pet peeves. Governments don't just "print out" money whenever they need it. Just ask post-WWI Germany what happens when you do that. The monetary system is far more complex than that, and these days much of it (perhaps most) doesn't have a physical form, not even as an otherwise worthless scrap of paper or metal.

    I'm sorry :). I wasn't aware :), thank you for clearing that up for me :). My first thought was that it would most likely cause more problems than it would fix, but since I was not an expert in history or government, I was not able to correct him :). I'll keep that in mind for future use :).
