Actually, you should say:

"Massive indirect unguided subsidies of money by the government."

Where the government does something directly, the results can be good. Look at Medicaid, which is generally thought to be the most cost effective form of health insurance that exists in the USA. The government overseas that directly.

But everywhere the government tries to offer end consumers a subsidy, so they can then try to use it toward some social goal, the result seems to be inflation.
