    1. It’s highly inflationary.
    1. False. It is only inflationary if the the government prints money to fund it. If instead the government funds it by cutting unnecessary spending or increasing tax revenue in some way than it is not inflationary. There is the same amount of money in circulation but it is just moving between hands instead of staying in a bank account.

      cutting unnecessary spending or increasing tax revenue

      You are technically correct, but in a practical sense: lol good luck with that.
