That's the entire point, is that the money we use is backed by debt that we the tax payers are responsible for paying off. The government has no problems issue its own bonds, so why can't it issue debt-free currency? Go read the book "History of Central Banking". One of the main drivers of history is destroying non debt backed money and replacing it with credit.
Notice how all of the gold in the world sits in vaults? That is because they use debt-money to steal all of the gold and they now use it to collateralize loans. Rinse and repeat every 100 years: You back the money by gold and wait a few generations for people to die off then you go on a spending binge. Get everyone in debt and steal everything and fight wars etc and then you revalue the gold so all of the little receipts we have go poof.
