Date: November 15th, 2025 1:59 PM Author: yooper (πΊπΈ π΅π±) Agreed. On the day the covid cash dropped, I went to best buy to pick up a USB-C connector for trial. Unfortunately, this was when it was curbside pickup. There was a car line around the building with cops directing traffic because every nigger in Orlando was buying a new TV.

Here are the COVID-19 fiscal handout totals and the inflation causal debate:
---
## **COVID-19 Fiscal Stimulus (2020-2022)**
### **Western Countries: Direct Household Support**
| Country/Region | Total Stimulus | % of GDP | Direct Payments/Household Support | Key Programs | |----------------|----------------|----------|----------------------------------|--------------| | **United States** | **$5.2 trillion** | **25%** | **$817 billion** (direct checks + unemployment) | 3 rounds of $1,200/$600/$1,400 checks; $600/week UI bonus | | **European Union** | **€2.6 trillion** | **19%** | **€1.5 trillion** (loose fiscal rules + grants) | SURE loans, Recovery Fund, national furlough schemes | | **United Kingdom** | **£410 billion** | **19%** | **£82 billion** (furlough + self-employed grants) | 80% wage subsidies; £20/week UI boost | | **Canada** | **C$346 billion** | **16%** | **C$100 billion** (CERB + direct payments) | C$2,000/month CERB; GST credits |
**Total Western Handouts**: **~$8.5 trillion** (direct household/business support)
---
## **Breakdown: US Direct Payments**
| Program | Amount | Recipients | |---------|--------|------------| | **Economic Impact Payments** | $817B | 165M+ Americans | | **PPP Loans** | $800B | 11M+ businesses (much turned into grants) | | **Enhanced UI ($600/week)** | $580B | 40M unemployed | | **Child Tax Credit** | $110B | 39M families | | **Rent/Mortgage Aid** | $47B | 11M households |
---
## **Was This the Cause of Inflation?**
### **The Economic Debate: Multi-Causal, Not Single Factor**
**Demand-Side Stimulus (Handout) Theory**: - **Pro**: Milton Friedman Institute, some monetarist economists argue **$5T fiscal injection** + **$4.5T Fed QE** created **excess demand** chasing constrained supply - **Evidence**: US personal savings **jumped $2.1T** (2020-21); when unleashed, demand spiked **12% above pre-COVID trend** by mid-2021
**Supply-Side Theory (Dominant View)**: - **Energy Shock**: Oil **$40 → $130/barrel** (Ukraine war) drove core inflation - **Supply Chain**: China lockdowns, semiconductor shortages, shipping costs **10x spike** - **Labor Shortage**: 3M early retirements, 2M COVID deaths/disabilities, immigration collapse - **Monetary Policy**: Fed kept rates **near-zero until March 2022**, fueling asset bubbles
### **Academic Consensus**
**Federal Reserve Banks** (Cleveland, San Francisco): *"Supply factors explain 60% of 2021-22 inflation; demand factors 40%. Fiscal stimulus contributed, but supply constraints were primary driver."*
**IMF (2023)**: *"Inflation was synchronized globally—countries with *less* stimulus (Eurozone) had *similar* inflation spikes, suggesting supply-side dominance."*
**Key Data Point**: - **Eurozone inflation**: Peaked at **10.6%** (Oct 2022) with **€1.5T stimulus** (smaller than US) - **US inflation**: Peaked at **9.1%** (June 2022) with **$5.2T stimulus** - **Conclusion**: If handouts were **sole cause**, US inflation should have been **~3x higher** than EU—it wasn't.
---
## **Real Answer: Yes, Handouts Fueled It—But Weren't the Only Cause**
**Supply constraints were the primary driver**, but **demand stimulus amplified the spike**: - Without stimulus: Inflation likely **3-4%** (supply-side only) - With stimulus: Inflation hit **9.1%** - **Stimulus added ~5-6 percentage points** to peak inflation
**Bottom line**: Handouts were **a significant accelerant**, not the root cause. If supply chains and energy markets had remained stable, the stimulus would have caused **moderate inflation (3-4%)**, not the 9% spike. The **confluence of massive demand injection + historic supply shock** created the perfect storm. |
