Markets decide what dollars are worth.

Certainly true. When the Fed prints too many, the markets devalue them.

And when it prints just enough, prices remain broadly stable. Which is exactly what happened last fall. In the year since, it hasn't printed any. (Also, literally speaking it doesn't print them; private banks extend their loans or don't, voluntarily...)
