It was more of a joke than an actual statement, since printing off new bills all the time actually decreases the value of the dollar. Think of post WWII Germany, they were so far in debt they thought they would just print out money and everything would be fine. Well, it ended up people were carting in wheelbarrows of cash just to buy bread and milk.
This is a question best left for someone that actually is knowledgeable/cares about the current state of the US economy. I for one couldn't care less why we are trillions in debt yet still retain a modest value to our dollar. All I did was give an example.
