Why even bother printing money?

Why bother print all that money and waste the paper? The forests are getting depleted of trees and global warning is threatening to make our planet uninhabitable. Let the treasury simply deposit a number into the accounts of whomever they deem worthy and allow the free enterprise system to do its job of spreading the wealth. In fact, what is the point of having even coin money? Let the people simply use their credit in the bank to pay for all products and services. A true paperless and coinless society will be more just. Democracy is the answer. The majority of the people have voted that there is no Creator and nothing has happened; therefore, we can do whatever is expedient and there will be no one to answer to. Why print money? It is a waste. Plus, there will be no need for anyone to decide who gets the money. Hey, why not just enter whatever number you need into your bank account and the money will be there for you to do whatever you want? Everyone is worried about taxing our grandchildren to death. There is no need to worry; we will just vote the Democrats out of office and we do not have to pay back the money.

Then I suddenly woke up and realized that it had all been a nightmare.
