If money can just be created, which causes inflation by lowering the value of all dollars, newly printed and already in circulation. Then why wouldn't destroying a dollar be at least as good (in terms of the dollar's value) as printing is bad?

Who would "pay" for it?

No one needs to pay for it? You're creating more than $1 value for every $1 you destroy. Are you not?

I thought it was obvious, I guess I gave you guys too much credit. I clearly don't mean the few physical dollars being the ones to be destroyed unless necessary (wear/ tear etc.) But (((digital))) dollars create through the many systems all behind (((fractional reserve))) etc.

There is this false understanding that dollars are created physically. Many of the dollars created are just numbers in a computer. It's not like the bank you use has the same amount of paper cash that is found in all the accounts of all the customers.
