prices go up?

Why.

Help.

Why is government printing more money and giving it to me a bad thing. I need it to live.

I’d like both the econ101 (fake, lib, propaganda) and the marxist (real, truth, based) answer pls.

    Circulation of money does matter on inflation, however the rate of circulation of money, also called the velocity of money, doesn't change the overall supply of money unless the velocity of money is really low. Like if people in Idaho decide that putting money under your mattress is the best place to put money then inflation in Idaho could be worse than the surrounding areas because the velocity of money is low enough to cause deflationary pressure.
