Yep. I thought about bringing that up, but baby steps.Have you ever heard of 'Timing is everything'?
When laws are passed that direct money to a certain sector, that sector begins to plan. When $1.7t dollars is allocated over a period of years to infrastructure, for example, that money is distributed to applicants. States, counties and cities submit proposals, and winners are picked. Industry in these cities ramp supply to meet demand. The process is slow and deliberate. By the time money is injected into the economy, suppliers are ready, with competition providing the lowest price. The economic effects of building a bridge are the same regardless of who builds it. Building bridges is not inflationary. Government spending isn't inflationary by default.
Screaming "green new deal" is hysterical, false nonsense.
Besides, you are also ignoring all the Green New Deal, DEI, Trans, culture war, etc. etc. spending which embedded in each of those bills.
This is what the American people suffered increased inflation for. This bullshit spending.
Further, when there is supply chain shortages, prices go up as does inflation, money chasing fewer available goods. Heap on more demand, in the form of government spending, only worsens the imbalance.
You speak of building with 'concrete and steel'? Consider the failure to build anything as shown:
This is what the American people suffered increased inflation for. This bullshit spending.
I'm not trying to 'show the mechanisms of inflation', I'm calling out, once again, the crap spending which was done which made the inflation worse than it needed to be.
