They do have a different model of what money is, which motivates their view that there's no reason to have to raise money in order to spend it.

My understanding is that they basically see money as analogous to tickets to an event. Venues don't have to raise the tickets before selling them. They just sell them and then the tickets disappear after the event happens. In this case, money is a ticket to not be thrown in prison for not paying your taxes.

But, yeah, they often say things like "and the government can just pay for things with newly created money, until inflation becomes a problem." and most of us respond with something like "No shit, but inflation is already a problem."
