We haven't doubled the money supply (not even close). The amount of misinformation in this conversation in the general public speaks to the lack of understanding of our monetary systems.

So how much has the money supply increased/decreased according to your sources?

You're the one who made the assertion - curious on your sources. If you're simply looking at fiscal stimulus spending that's a pretty naive view of economics.

Look at the 25 year view. 2014-2019 was an anomaly where us GDP grew 22% while the money supply contracted by 25%, we are currently back to the straight line we've been on since 2008.
