Not to nit pick, but the US government doesn't create money, they just sell their debt. At times when they sell more debt than the bond market is willing to buy in that moment, the Fed steps in as the buyer of last resort and creates new money to buy it.

Without the Fed acting as the buyer of last resort for bonds, the government could still auction them, but if they get to aggressive and dump too much on the market at once there would be consequences.
