According to the information collected by the censuses, in 2013 around 14.5% of families in the United States of America were poor (USA Census Bureau, 2014). Suppose someone comes up with the idea of asking the government to produce more money and have that new money distributed to families living in poverty. The person who came up with the "brilliant idea", you ask:

Which government institution can make the most money?

How do you produce it?

What impact does a higher money supply have on inflation?

Why didn't anyone come up with this idea before?

Do you agree that this is a good idea? Why or why not?
