I ask this question with genuine sincerity: Can't we just print more? Why do people think we can't just print more?

    It's not my area of expertise either, but people whose takes on this I respect seem to indicate that it would be catastrophic for the US to violate its debt ceiling (and therefore it's a good idea to get rid of the debt ceiling altogether).

    Printing money you can probably just do although try to tax it back at some point.
