Because money is like diamonds. If there were more diamonds in the world they would be cheaper no doubt, because they would be less rare. In addition, competing companies would battle to sell at the lowest price. Money is the same, the more you print the less value it has. Why do you think the United Kingdom pound sterling has strong value? Because the British are smart and know when to stop printing and when to start to balance out with the needs of banks and business.

Why cant the government print out more money?

The previous answer, while thorough, was a complete and utter lie and made no sense at all. If the government prints more money, then prices will go up, and so no problems would be solved. Think of it this way. If you and a storekeeper are the only two people in a country, and you each have $10, you might pay your $10 for some food. If the government printed more money and then you both had $20, now the storekeeper would want $20 for that same food. It's the same thing in real life, but with more people.

Can the US print money any time?

By "The Government" you mean the Federal Reserve Bank. Yes it can print as much money as it wants. But the Federal Reserve headed up by Ben Bernanke (The Federal Reserve Chairman) also understands that if you print too much money, then humans will stop working so hard to get it since they cannot redeem them for goods and services. Humans will instead gravitate toward commodities (things that have intrinsic value) like milk, gasoline, books, cars and clothing.The US Dollar is a "Fiat Currency", meaning it has absolutely no value except in the sovereign rule of law says that you MUST take US Dollar if someone is in debt to you. If the Federal reserve prints too much money, then "Too much money chases two few goods" causing hyperinflation.Chris Martenson discusses the role of the Federal Reserve bank, US Dollar, and Inflation, and how it ties together with these great videos:http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse

Why cant the Philippines create money to pay its credit?

i think Argentina did this a few years back and nearly destroyed their entire economy. because each country can only print money for the amount money it actually has. e.g. if a country is worth $10 billion and prints money that equates to $20 billion, inflation etc will effect the value of the money so it becomes virtually worthless. just take a look at Zimbabwe they have what is known as 'hyper-inflation' and you would need thousands of Zimbabwe dollars to equal just a few US dollars
