Instead of printing like there is no tomorrow, call it deficit spending or the government massively overdrawing it's credit card.
Or just call it borrowing money because debt is the real problem.

The problem is that paying off debt cripples the economy because people aren't using money as a medium of exchange, they save in liquid money when they should be saving via CDs.
