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.

No value is created, it's just transferring the value of that dollar to all the others.

I didn't say value was created though. I said each of the now lower amount of dollars has more value. "value" remains static. That's what inflation is, value is X and the # of units of currency increases for no reason. So value is the same but not per unit of currency.

You did right here:
