The government has the same amount of money as most of the other governments in the world: $0

And its cute how people think that a country $20 trillion in debt has the capacity to fix the economy, lol.

You know that gif of a DS or a Wii printing money with a laughing Iwata and Miyamoto?

That's like America, in actuality.

What? You realize the the national debt is never going away, right? The US government doesnt have a dime to its name. Whenever the government needs money to spend, it needs to borrow it from the Federal Reserve. Which, despite its name, is a collection of privately owned banks.

Ever wonder why our money says Federal Reserve Note, and not something like US Government Note? Because the US does not create money, it borrows it from the Federal Reserve. And heres the real kicker: the Federal Reserve is charging interest for every dollar borrowed. The Federal Reserve is not lending a dollar and expecting a dollar in return, they are lending a dollar and expecting a dollar and some change. Its why the national debt will never go away. US workers are working to pay off a debt that will never be able to be repayed.
