Wouldn't that increase inflation.

• albertcardona 18y ago
  Inflation is yet another form of taxation. A subtle, criminal one, that undermines your savings while you sleep.

  Printing money is by definition inflation (so, yes).

  That's why they fudge a little bit when they report CPI and PPI data.

  Yes it will increase inflation, but not enough to overcome the deflation currently under way due to credit destruction. Real inflation is a monetary phenomenon driven by the availability (or lack thereof) of cash and credit. Most lenders have been withdrawing credit at rapid pace.
