Not really. The government has the authority to print money. They can ensure banks never run out of cash. But it may cause inflation if they overdo it.

I suppose inflation is paying for it, but I get the feelings that the semantics around whether inflation is "paying" for things have changed recently (or maybe I've been hearing too many ardent MMT evangelists).
