This would cause inflation the more money we put into circulation to cover debt the more inflated money would become. Inflation is where the value of our currency decreases more and more. For example, when people say "back in my day you could get a hot dog and coke for 5 cents" they aren't lying that's just what the value was back then, inflation causes the increase in cost.
This was done in Germany after WWI were the Germans printed moneys to pay for the reparations debt with out the GDP to back there moneys ... Which lead to a depression and the rise of Hitler ...
