It’s amazing how people could see this happening, acknowledge it is wrong and severely dysfunctional, then go around insisting we add more means testing to benefits because it would be horrible if people got help who “didn’t deserve it”.

Just a hint, the people causing this dysfunctional state of affairs are probably not the ones who are trying to expand government benefits to cover as many people as possible.

Very snarky response. I think the poster you replied to was trying to point out that the reason this happens is because the government prints money and if they don't take the money out of circulation via taxes then inflation becomes an issue.
