If it’s that easy to make infinite money, maybe the govt should could just do that too so we’d have enough for healthcare and other programs?

The government can't, and doesn't, make infinite money. Govt debt can't grow to infinity either, so if revenue is not increased, unpredictable and unpleasant events will follow. However, the taxation issue is so hopelessly misrepresented and misunderstood that I'm not going to discuss it here.

What? It's just a business you can only execute with lots of resources, and in a space where supply changes slowly.
