Printing money devalues the currency. The new printed dollars will never equal the amount of money that was originally lent to other countries/sovereigns (via bonds). So the US settles for putting the interest on that debt onto their balance sheet of necessary expenses. But that number will keep going up. And the new (printed) money will always be worth less what was originally lent.
