The term "free money" is a silly put down term designed to close a discussion before it even started. Nothing is free. Money comes from somewhere, and it goes somewhere.

Even if this money did not end up creating more jobs, or reducing health care costs and so on, it's still going somewhere and doing something.

If its being printed out of thin air (if hypothetically taxes can't cover costs) then its creating massive inflation.
