Printing more money is inflationary period IMO. I think you should omit the period. Printing more money in order to monetize excess debt is quite a different animal than printing the necessary money to handle the economies ability to grow. If the economy is growing at 6% and money supply is negative or slightly positive, the result is a higher cost for capital, or a shortage of it. That creates higher costs, higher prices, and a weaker economy. There is also the question of monetary velocity, or the rate/speed that business transactions take place. I believe that much of US economic growth is doing to a faster velocity for money, showing greater efficiency in the use of available money supply. Hardly Inflationary. Regards, Ron
