If free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money?" he said. "Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000? Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus? Why not $20,000 a year for everybody? Why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?"

Money gets its power from faith. If people learn that money is free, its power will vanish. The money will be worthless. How much money can you print before people learn that nothing prevents endless printing? Better safe than sorry.
