If a country prints mass amounts of money and uses it to pay off debts, that money will still circulate throughout the community. If people end up with more money, inflation begins. When everybody on average begins to get more money, the cost of living increases as well. You can't keep things cheap while more money circulates because of supply and demand. If people are mass buying, supply cannot keep up. Money is only powerful if it is scarce.
