The limiting factor is inflation!
If we get massive deflation from a “dollar short squeeze” (which I don’t actually think is likely but it’s what OP was suggesting) that means we need more inflation, which printing money would produce.
- mym1990 5y agoThis is just treating a symptom, and not the underlying cause(whatever that may be).
- seoaeu 5y agoWhen the symptom is having too much money to spend, it isn't clear that you want to "treat" the cause in the first place!
- majormajor 5y agoPrinting money doesn't necessarily create inflation if it doesn't go into circulation. My understanding is that "printing money" with a jobs program would be more effective at stimulating spending that, say, "printing money" with cheap interest rates (which might just mostly ultimately go into people's bank accounts as they sell assets to people borrowing the cheap money).
