Biden's economic advisor Jared Bernstein turns into a bumbling mess after he's asked why the government borrows money if they can just keep printing it.

... The government definitely prints money and then it lends that money by, by selling bonds. Is that what they do? They, they, they, yeah, they, they, they sell bonds.
... So, yeah, I, I, I guess I'm just, I don't, I can't really talk. I don't, I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about.
