THE GOVERNMENT HAVE ABILITY TO PRINT MORE MONEY TO HIS WILL BUT THERE SOME FACTORS THAT CAN HINDER THE PRINTING OF MONEY ENJOY THE ANSWERS ACCORDING TO ECONOMICS FIELD OF VIEW:
Suppose you have a cake. You hand out tickets to people so they can each get a piece. If you hand out a thousand tickets, either you're going to have to slice the pieces very, very thin, or a lot of people are just going to have worthless tickets. If you hand out just two, each person can have quite a bit of cake. The value of the tickets, then, depends a lot on how many you hand out.
That's basically what money is. It's a promise to pay from the government. You get the money and you can trade it with people in that country for stuff. And just like with the cake, if suddenly tons of people have money, either the money ends up being worth very little or most of the people with money get nothing for it.
A good example of this from history was Germany in 1922. Faced with a sagging economy and forced to pay massive debts as reparations for World War I, the government started printing money as fast as they could to meet these demands. Paper mills and printing presses were LITERALLY running as fast as they could night and day. Over a period of six months or so, the value of the German mark dropped 3.7 MILLION times! What you could once buy for a mark now cost four million marks. People literally lugged around suitcases full of money to pay bills. Absolutely crazy stuff.

ANOTHER ANSWER
First, a minor correction. People talk about the *government* trying to print enough money to get itself out of the national debt. THAT is the plan that could not work.
However, the government could indeed print a bunch of money for just the poor.and it would work to some extent. This would work very nicely for people who are only "poor" because of the size of their loan repayments, since repaying loans would prevent inflation. However, the problem is with people who are too poor to support themselves. They would eventually run out of money ... so the question becomes "how often do we print up money for the poor?"
Inflation is caused by having way more money dumped into the economy, than we can match with the amount of products we have created. Economists describe it as "too much money 'chasing' too few goods."
So, if we end up having to repeatedly print tons of money for the poor, then inflation could rise. But, if we keep the amount of money line with the growth of the economy, then THERE WOULD BE NO INFLATION. (Emphasis, since other people that have answered have cried "inflation" as if it would be automatic.) In fact, it would stimulate the economy since the money would certainly be spent (instead of saved), and fewer loans would go into default.
That's just the theory behind it. The primary problem is political. Who wants to see someone *else* getting money for free?
