Wrong again--printing money is a net gain of money and money is not wealth. Labor and capital and their products are wealth. Money is simply how we keep score.

Printing money is always inflationary relative to the previous money supply.

Dropping bags of cash in neighborhoods--if those bags were taken from the same economy--at best is a break even deal.

Dropping bags of newly printed money in an economy will drive up prices but over the long run will have no real, inflation adjusted impact on the economy.
