I would focus on South American countries to show that the printing of dollars creates inflation.

I did not really mean to dispute the basic principle when taken to extremes. And some of the South American countries of the last three or four decades have definitely been 'extreme'. What I am saying is that it isn't clear whether there are more complexities under less extreme circumstances. What should the target be? Are there other variables that would make one change the target? (e.g. savings rate?, recession? expansion? ...) Is there a broad range over which it doesn't matter much?
