How is that not a straw man?

Its not a straw man. its a fair question. This is what the federal reserve is doing. It exclusively privileges the wealthy who get the first bite of the new money before it can cause inflation in the market. If money printing magic was all that it took, then every country ranging from Russia, China, India would do it. No country would borrow money at all.

Japan has been doing this money printing for the last 30 years and its economy and society are near death from unemployment and low growth.

But MMT isn't in support of "printing" trillions in order to prop up the financial sector.
