The sad reality is that governments fail to do so. The irony behind your comment is that if they could, they would have stopped a long time ago.

I think we must be talking past each other or something. The purchasing power of every single fiat currency has trended down since the elimination of hard money standards, so as far as I can tell, every single government is printing away the value of its money.

I don't see how that's "failing to do so" if "so" refers to "printing away the value of their money"?
