Printing money doesn’t solve real problems because it doesn’t create real goods or services. It just creates more dollars chasing the same amount of stuff. Prices rise, but not everyone benefits equally.

When new money enters the system, it reaches banks, corporations, and investors first. They use it to buy assets like stocks, homes, and commodities before prices adjust. By the time it filters down through stimulus checks or wage increases, the cost of living has already gone up. The people without assets end up paying higher prices while their income stays the same.

That is how inflation quietly transfers wealth. Those who own assets see their value rise. Those who live paycheck to paycheck lose purchasing power. The rich grow richer, not because they work harder, but because they hold things that the new money chases.

We saw it after the COVID stimulus. Stocks, real estate, and luxury goods exploded in price while everyday expenses like food, rent, and energy climbed just as fast. People who owned assets were rewarded. Those who didn’t fell further behind.

Printing money might look like help, but it only widens the gap between those who produce and those who own. It rewards debt, punishes saving, and slowly erases the middle class under the illusion of relief.
