Economics question

Why is it when a kid asks "Why can't the government just print money to pay for everything" he gets told it's too simple to think like that and he doesn't understand concepts like the devaluation of currency, but when Obama asks the same question it's not considered the same thing?

The Government should have no say in what states allow what their citizens are allowed to do. Of course we live in dying times where the Constitution is looked upon as nothing more than a quaint document from the 18^th century that has no bearing on these modern issues that we face. Oh, how very wrong these people are. It's as relevant today as it was in 1789.
