Approximately 40% of all dollars printed were printed in the last year, and that was before the most recent cash giveaway.

The money stock in January 2020 was $15,419.8 billion. Today it's $19,411.3 billion (fred.stlouisfed.org). That's a 26% increase. In other words, 26% of all dollars in existence came into existence in the last year. Unless you can say the GDP increased by 26% then that means 26% inflation is coming. You can't just increase the supply of money, hold GDP constant, and not have the value of money drop proportionally.
Thank you
