Your children aren't the ones paying for it. Numbers changing in a computer system is what pays for it.

Presumably you believe the rate of inflation is unrelated to the rate of currency issuance. This seems incorrect.

We have a real resource problem that can not be fixed by printing more money.

Printing Money (expanding money supply) creates inflation now as supply cannot match demand.

I do believe something similar to that. Not that it's completely unrelated, but that the rate of inflation is related to the use of monetary policy controls as a whole, not just currency issuance and wages. The traditional economic dogma about inflation and spending is wrong.
