No, that's absolutely not what I'm telling you. While Congress has the power to "print" money (the actual power is to coin money and determine its value), it gave that power to the Federal Reserve in 1913. Your claim was in response to a discussion about the INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, which while it's terrible policy and I would have opposed literally every word of it, the infrastructure bill is not the cause of inflation. Loose monetary policy is the cause of inflation every single time. Fiscal policy has nothing to do with inflation, and anyone who tells you that lacks even a principles level understanding of monetary economics. I have noticed, recently, in conservative circles, people keep talking about the inflation that is happening and blaming fiscal policy. I resent that because it takes the blame away from the people who should be blamed for inflation--those who make monetary policy, specifically, the Federal Reserve's board of governors.
Price theory also has nothing to do with monetary economics. If you want to debate that, too, I'm happy to do so, but let's stay on target here. My claim was exclusively related to you responding to the other guy about the infrastructure bill.
Milton Friedman, in addition to the quote regarding inflation, was famous for saying that his naysayers either used shoddy economics or no economics at all. The people blaming fiscal policy instead of the fed for inflation are engaged in just that. The fed could make inflation negative overnight if it had the will to do so, regardless of what fiscal policy Congress passed. That is, because as Friedman said, "Inflation is everywhere and always a monetary phenomenon."
