How much money is there? With the U.S. borrowing so much, why aren't we broke?

Dear Cecil:
How much U.S. currency (cold cash) is in circulation around the world? Who decides how much to print? With the government continually borrowing money, shouldn't lenders be broke by now? Where do they get the money to keep lending out, especially when they know that none of it will ever be paid back?
