> When inflation is due to printing money, the only thing that can be done is to sit back and wait for it to work it's way through the system.

Source? This doesn’t seem right to me at all.

I suspect there is no source for this, but OP is just summarizing what the Fed is hoping will happen -- basically they have printed too much money but they don't want to raise interest rates either, so they are just going to sit back and wait for the excess money to flow through the system.
