The government can end today’s high price-inflation rates any time by ending deficit spending. But the state won’t even acknowledge deficit spending is a cause of today’s price-inflation cycle.
Government: ”I don’t have a spending problem. I can stop anytime I want to. I just don’t want to right now…”

I was thinking though, if they did want to stop inflation, and stop printing money....wouldnt that put the economy in a depression for a while? Not saying that that is the end of the world, but it would make the us dollar stronger in the end, right?

That's right. We call those downturns "economic corrections" because they're inherently part of the economy undoing the distortions caused by state interventions.
