Because inflation is demand driven you fucking dingus, and because one of the primary fucking jobs of central banks like the fed is to keep the value of a currency stable which is exactly what they are doing right now even if you don't understand how monetary policy works.

Inflation doesn't happen just because there is more money. Inflation happens when demand for goods and services increases, resulting in higher prices for those goods and services and, by extension, a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Increasing the money supply increases the amount of money available for people to spend and therefore increases the demand for a good/service at a specific price. When economy-wide demand falls off a cliff you get deflation. Deflation is very bad because it encourages people to stuff money in a mattress rather than spend it which further decreases demand and leads to even more deflation. The fed offering very cheap loans to increase to money supply literally because they DON'T want the value of a dollar to change by a whole lot. When the economy recovers they'll stop doing this.
