[T]hey'll get the money to keep from having to adopt austere, even draconian, budget and policy measures [by having] the printing presses ... running overtime.

So Dan asks "what will the government do to deal with inflation" and you respond "print more money". You cannot deal with inflation by printing more money; that will only worsen the situation, and would be likely to be the root cause to begin with.

So if that's not what you meant, what did you mean?
