Even my Trump-hating libshit brother thought the stimmies were a good idea. When I told him it was going to be inflationary, he said, "Or what, let people suffer?!"
Of course, now that his property taxes, insurance, and power bill skyrocketed, he doesn't like to talk about it anymore.
To be fair, a major part of Trump's plan was investing in the government own long-term stimulus via infrastructure and development, so that the economy would catch up to the money printing after a shorter while. This would have caused a little spike in inflation followed by sustained growth. It was smart. Basically taking out a loan to expand a business with an expected payback in the future.
The Dems stymied and shitcanned every part except the money printer and went hog wild.
