I don't think any of the BI proponents suggested to finance it by printing new money. More likely taxes, but keep in mind that they wouldn't be spent by the government. But speaking of inflation, in the eurozone, they can't seem to figure out how to increase it. Everyone seems to be anxious about the possibility of deflation. Which seems strange, because if they just printed money and distributed it to everyone, you'd think this would both produce inflation and increase consumption, no?
