By "The Government" you mean the Federal Reserve Bank. Yes it can print as much money as it wants. But the Federal Reserve headed up by Ben Bernanke (The Federal Reserve Chairman) also understands that if you print too much money, then humans will stop working so hard to get it since they cannot redeem them for goods and services. Humans will instead gravitate toward commodities (things that have intrinsic value) like milk, gasoline, books, cars and clothing.
The US Dollar is a "Fiat Currency", meaning it has absolutely no value except in the sovereign rule of law says that you MUST take US Dollar if someone is in debt to you. If the Federal reserve prints too much money, then "Too much money chases two few goods" causing hyperinflation.
