I think you have an overly cynical view of the other posts, and are putting words in their mouth and mine.

Yes, governments have many options to allow spending besides borrowing. they do have real downsides which are not negligible, which is why they are done less often. The ability to do something, like "pay off debt by tea time" doesn't mean it is consequence free.

There are governments that fund spending primarily by printing new currency, and you can see what some of those effects are.
