      Of course it wouldn’t be there, I’m not saying that the government spending money at all is bad.

      What is bad is the government spending too much money, so much that they introduce way too much money into the economy, making the rest worthless.

      Obviously it’s a combination of factors, but printing (and then introducing) a shitton of money will have very direct effects on the value of the currency.

      There wouldn’t be any money for taxpayers to pay if the government hadn’t first printed it and spent it

      Money naturally emerges in all civilizations, you don’t need a government to centrally manage it. You lack basic economic understanding.
