You can magically create money with paper and ink...but you can't create value. So the more money that gets printed, the less purchasing power remains for money saved in a bank account or mattress. This is the "magic of inflation," and the government is using it to punish people who greedily save their money instead of patriotically going into debt.

And really, isn't a sad chuckle better than no chuckle at all...?
