But the government just prints money to do war and bank bailouts and whatever else it wants, it's honestly so obvious. But They don't want us to know. It's very fringe, almost nonexistent, in academia.

It says that they collect taxes just to take money out of circulation to manage inflation. They're totally inverting it and lying when they pretend that tax revenue directly limits how much money the government can spend.

"From a foreign exchange/relations point of view, the fact that the United States is the “petrodollar” has important implications.‬ From a domestic point of view, however, the petrodollar makes little difference to the United States’ capacity to provide for its people or the domestic value of the dollar.‬ [...] [O]il does not, in fact, give the US dollar its value. The primary thing that gives it (and the pound, yen, yuan, $CA, $AU, etc.) value is the government’s ability to impose a tax in its currency.‬" – https://activistmmt.org/reserve-currency

Not that so much of the world being dependent on the petrodollar isn't significant... but it's separate from the way the ruling class plays around with our currency here.
