When fiscal policy is stimulative in a capacity constrained economy, prices for goods and services have to rise for the market to clear.
Fiscal policy pulls in the opposite direction to monetary policy. They teach that stuff in first-year economics.

What has had a greater impact on inflation in Australia, the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Or the 500 billion dollars in stimulus policies throughout the pandemic?
Have prices actually gone up, or is our money just worth less?
