I'm not saying that we didn't print money this year. I'm arguing over how we measure the quantity of the money supply. I am saying that government debt = the quantity of money. "The federal government ran a budget deficit of $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2020, CBO estimates, more than triple the shortfall recorded in 2019" By my definition, we did print $3.1 trillion of money this year. I don't go by the size of the Fed balance sheet as money supply. There are many reasons for this, and plenty of people on this thread are trying to explain this view point.
