I see your point in theory but in practice:

- poor people have less money to repay interest on the debt after buying necessities at an inflated price

- interest rates rise following inflation which will increase debt repayment costs and likely offset any benefits gained from debt being inflated away

- it is very rare for 'people' to actually issue loans, I imagine 99.99% of loans are issued by banks
