You're right in saying, the easier it is to obtain money through credit the less valuable the money.

When discussing a situation where "the Fed gives the government $2 trillion and the debt is gone", I think it is best to call this by its true name - a Monetarist Tax.

The baffle-flab of the Reagan "supply-siders" amounted to nothing more than this -

replace Income Tax with an equal amount of Monetary Tax

while at the same time growing the size of the government at an extra-rapid pace, but that's a different kettle of fish.

I'm sure you agree that new debt, which is not borrowed from someone's savings, is simply a monetary tax, not a miraculous new efficiency.
