How can the American Government be over a million dollars in debt? Considering they are the GOVERNMENT can't they LITERALLY MAKE Money?

Million? Its over 18 trillion.

The fact you said million tells me you are so clueless that its not even worth commenting further.

If your checking account is in the negative by $234 you CANNOT write another check on the same account to pay off debt one and be at zero. The second check would put you back at $234 in the negative.

Theoretically the Federal government should have a balanced budget: expenditures cannot exceed the income tax collected in that year.

The government makes money every time they write a check with no money in the bank account. [<cash for clunkers, $8000 to buy a house, all of the tax credits for going to college + interest write-off credits, etc.] It would be counterfeit, but it is backed by the full faith and promise of the United States government.

You (make, or "print") money when you have $100 cash in your pocket, but use your cc to buy the $100 item because you can go to another store and spend that other $100 ( i e the cash). But eventually you must pay back th $100 you borrowed. However, the government has a bottomless credit card.

the fact that the Treasury dept can print currency has little to do with the value of money...........if you are really interested, then do some research online

The banks and federal reserve, not the government, determines the money supply.

If a government just prints a bunch of money, it becomes close to worthless - you'd need a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. A few countries have tried it over the years, and it's been a disaster. Money only has value if there are things to buy with it. basic economics

That was the approach that the Confederacy and the Wiemar Republic tried. I see you are unfamiliar with the concept of inflation, which is something you should Google.
