    Everybody knows this, the government can simply create as much new money as it wants to. The real question is, can the American people afford that?

        “Aww, people want the government to help them out? Isn’t that cute. Now shut up and give me more money.”

      If only everyone knew this, but our government and think tanks and schools of economics and corporate media seem to work hard to keep it unknown.
