Economists only: What is the downside of printing and distributing trillions of dollars in an environment in which inflation is nil and demand is low? Who loses and when? @joshgans

I think that if inflation reappears, they can take money out just as easily as they put it in. This is not a real worry given the scale of the crisis we are in.

How do you take that scale of money out just by raising interest rates when much of what was injected was via grants? And even if you could, wouldn’t that cause severe economic downturn by itself? Maybe kicking can down road is ok...

The inflation hawks and gold bugs have been saying that hyperinflation is just around the corner since at least the 1970's.
