Good thing I didn’t chalk up infrastructure spending as the only cause by stating “part”.

> but also was a part of the 9% inflation

Yes there are other reasons, COVID payments being another reason, which citizens were warned about. The first payment was signed by Donald Trump himself. Any time there is an increase in spending it will cause inflation. Increasing defense spending is another cause which happens yearly.

Did CHIPS and stimulus checks also cause inflation in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Canada in Britain? Asking because they all had higher inflation that US.

The pandemic caused global inflation. I don’t know why you’d insinuate increased spending in America directly correlates with increased spending in Europe. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make either.
