Why does the US not print its own money but allows the federal reserve bank to print money?

This is due to the 1913 Federal Reserve Act under President Wilson. It is implied that this law was not legally ratified and is therefore fraudulent. It is against the U.S constitution for this bank to have the powers that belong to Congress and the U.S treasury. This is linked to the popular term "End the Fed".

Does the Federal Reserve print money?
Yes the federal Reserve, created in 1913, prints all US currency and coins. Every US dollar in circulation is printed as federal reserve notes which can be seen at the top of every US dollar. The US Treasury is obligated to print money at the demand of the Federal Reserve. When the government needs money, it gives US Treasury bonds to the Federal Reserve and in return, the federal reserve sells the government federal reserve notes with interest. How does the federal Reserve get these Federal Reserve notes? The US Treasury prints them out for the Federal Reserve electronically. These US Treasury bonds are than sold to very wealthy individuals and privant banks.According to the US code-section 411," Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose ofmaking advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose,are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other publicdues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank."

Can the US print money any time?
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.Chris Martenson discusses the role of the Federal Reserve bank, US Dollar, and Inflation, and how it ties together with these great videos:http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse
