Your right. I concede that without knowing the parameters of this program I can not claim that it will create price inflation.

In an environment in which a private entity (federal reserve) is printing money willy-nilly it makes you pretty cynical.

no, your original assertion is absolutely correct. This will create price inflation, and this is exactly what happens every year in Alaska. Alaskans receive a dividend check every year for about $1500 to $3500 dollars, and every year around the time people begin to receive checks prices go up. I try to explain this to people up there and they don't seem to understand.
