Didn't all the government payments also kick off a bunch of inflation? Seems like a downside.

Only because they fotgave every loan to businesses. The handouts mostly went the owners.

Come on. Apply some critical thinking here. That inflation surge was in the middle of the epochal Covid-induced supply chain shocks. Moreover, there isn't some fixed quantity of widgets we can produce. It's easy to avoid inflation when implementing major income redistribution. You just do it gradually. The problem with Covid stimulus was that it had to be delivered all at once. But if implemented gradually, production can simply be scaled up to meet increased demand.
