My experience here does not have to "generalize" and isn't really meant to. More like an attempt to give a concrete example on a small scale that perhaps people can relate to more readily.

When Europe sent people to "The New World" and tons of silver was shipped back to Europe, the result was ridiculous inflation. Historically, when you inject more money into an economy but not more goods and services, not more intelligence, not more real value, the result is inflation. Prices go up because there is more money but not more stuff to buy with it.

I don't know how help you understand how ridiculous this idea is if you think dismissing my personal experience somehow proves my point wrong. It doesn't. The point can be made other ways. I just happen frequently speak from firsthand personal experience in part because it was part of the culture of a very respected list I once belonged to where the standard was 1) speak from firsthand experience or 2) cite your sources.
