The government can print money without inflation right up to the point they can’t. The way they’re printing money and using it has caused massive inflation where it’s going. The stock market has no basis in traditional valuation. Home and auto prices are also being inflated by the near free money available. It seems as long as there is no shortage of consumer products to buy , no shortage of labor to drive up wages , and a shortage of dollars to purchase said goods the government can print money and give it away. At the point the dollars saturate the market they will spark inflation. Inflation is like wildfire in that the fuel has slowly built up over time then a spark occurres and the fire it starts is many magnitude of the spark that started the wildfire. There’s a ton of inflationary fuel in our forest but the spark hasn’t hit the right fuel yet. Fuel will keep building until the world economy burns or there’s a real effort to clear the fuel. Either will be extremely socially painful.
