It depends where said money ends up. You're assuming it will end up back in banks, rather than in circulation. If it stays in circulation, all is well. Inflation only harms the economy [in this scenario] when the money is put in banks, or when individuals hoard insane amounts of cash.

And yes, I know that those banks can then LEND said money and help Jimmy and Johnny, and blah blah blah, but that is not what we are talking about. And that strawman scenario can be burned to the ground when all of the citizens go to the bank and try to withdraw their money, but it isn't there. But I digress.
