> Printing an additional $100 trillion changes the length of the measuring stick, but it doesn't give us any more hardware. It actually does. Spending freshly conjured money on hardware immediately kicks off production of new hardware and loads all the supply chain. Yes, this injection of new money into economy does eventually result in the inflation, but that will increase the costs of everything later. This lag between when you start spending and the adverse effects of inflation when the money will trickle down everywhere is the period when you actually gain from issuing new money, and the greater the economy is, the longer this lag will be.
