> without proper price controls

US government injected about 3 trillion worth of liquidity into the country since the start of the coronavirus, similar to how UBI of $1000/month to every single adult would cost. And did you see any price rise?




Right now consumer spending is way down because people can't or won't leave the house, and millions of people are unemployed. Injecting 3 trillion into the economy in normal circumstances would of course have a different effect.


Corporations already got most of the 3 trillion!
