Serious question: I keep seeing opinions about the inflation and supply chain problems being purely the result of the stimulus, and they feel, well, ideological. To what extent is this simply the effect of the pandemic? In my own family, we’ve spent way less on travel and more on things over the last couple of years.

Put another way, isn’t this the product of a combination of factors and not just because of the stimulus? I’m not convinced supporting people out of work through no fault of their own is a bad idea.
