I heard that the government bribes Fairies by letting them torture forgers. 

By checking the paper tray and inkjet cartridge levels and pressing the "Start Print" button. It's that simple.

If you are speaking about the government of the United States of America, the answer is, "they don't print money".  The money is manufactured by a sinister, deviant, faceless bunch that masquerades as the "Federal Reserve".  The US requests that some ridiculous amount of money be printed, and "they" (the Federal Reserve) prints the money and LOANS it to the US WITH INTEREST.

Here's the catch....NO money is printed beyond that which is borrowed.  Even IF the pathetic government could ever repay the Federal Reserve for all the money it has borrowed, it would not  be able to repay the interest because that money has not been printed.  

Kinda makes you wonder what those Federal Reserve dudes are gonna take in lieu of cash for the interest we don't have.....
