The inflation would probably not be homogenous, different markets have different pricing mechanics and characteristics. Another variable is percentage going to debt financing, which will have a stimulating effect. One in increased gdp because the percentage of gdp going to repayments would likely drop, and secondly one in higher degrees of business leverage are likely, leading to bubbles in certain markets. Inflation probably won't be a general issue while the economy is not approaching max capacity, but there might be inflation in some markets, much like QE is acting like a basic income for the top percentiles through financial asset inflation. Employers in certain sectors will probably lose a lot of leverage over low schooled workers, might increase prices through cost and demand, finance will probably try to siphon off as much as possible of the extra income. Assumptions assumptions, probably way off base :)
