[Eli5] how come the inflation level isn’t going up in the US, if the government literally gave everyone like 1000 dollars 3 times?

From what I know, the government can make cash out of thin air, but this causes inflation levels to rise. Or is everything they’re giving out just their surplus?

Time hasn’t passed. This current stimulus going out is being funded by hiking up taxes. Inflation doesn’t just happen over night. you can already see it creeping however in things like gas prices that have substantially gone up in the past months.
