I don't think goods are in short supply.

Luckily the person able to solve that problem—the producer of those goods—just got a whole bunch of money by selling the goods they had produced so far.
- micah94 3y agoI'll concede I may have conflated the idea of money printing with reallocating existing funds. It's not clear where this money is going to come from. But I get suspicious whenever the govt just wants to hand out money. There are so many other programs handing out money. Why is this one going to be better?
