It’s immediately obvious that increasing the money supply and spending the money will result in inflation.

MMT says that the only constraint on spending is inflation, but also turns around and says that you can always print more money. That’s a contradiction.

Printing more money does not change the real wealth in the economy. You can’t create additional purchasing power with an increase in the money supply because prices will adjust to the new level.
