The federal government is the source of dollars. Why does it need to borrow them?

[RoshawnMarkwees]

There's no deadline to repay the debt, because the whole point is the interest -- $1.4 trillion last year. Yes, we borrowed money to pay interest on money we borrowed.

It would be better if the government did print the money to cover the deficit instead of "borrowing" it. Then at least we wouldn't be transferring our wealth to the international banksters through interest payments.

Printing money is like using bad checks.
