It there is no debt ceiling, and spending is not tied to revenue collected, then, why even bother with collecting taxes. Get rid of taxation.

Just print whatever money government needs to pay for the spending. Mint a 100 trillion dollar coins and be done with worrying about raising revenue. At least, without taxation, people and businesses would have more to spend on growing the economy and creating jobs.

Let government pretend that, they don't have to be tied to the economy in any way, and we'd be a lot better off.

But, when government is doing its own thing with unending "monopoly money", who's going to accept their form of payment for any kind of spending they do?
