How come nobody posts this major reason why there was high taxation and money printing in Weimar Germany?

The treaty of Versailles that ended World War I had the European countries punishing Germany by making them pay large amounts of reparations that were unrealistic for the country to pay. The United States was against it as I saw it as overly punitive, but the European powers pushed for it. A lot of money was being printed and essentially sent out of the country.
