Make America great again (by printing an unlimited amount of money)! Make the new Great European Reich (EU) great by the same thing (Draghi's European Central Bank for Money Distribution). Oops, I'm becoming sea sick! As a kid of 11 I proposed this to my mom already.

Would make the upper 0.01% of America even richer + stabilize their rule + putting the final end to the so-called "FREE-MARKET-ECONOMY", once the base of capitalism + prosperity + American Dream. Read Noam Chomsky's book "Requiem for the American Dream"! Change the system!pic.twitter.com/BRpvaiLFVW

What about inflation. Doesn't this hurt the value of the money that is actually earned ie. working people?

That's nearly twice as what I make in yearly income at my current job. It most definitely would help poverty stricken people immensely.
