If its so ludicrous to assume governments can more easily raise funds with money that can be created through the federal reserve system, how do you explain the enormous budget expansions since the creation of the federal reserve system in 1913?

Even if you are a liberal and support the federal reserve system, it must seem more expedient to raise funds by creating your own money and slowly inflating currency then raising it through taxes. To think otherwise would set you apart from the vast majority of liberals AND conservatives.
