We are now experiencing higher inflation due to the massive QE early in the pandemic.

Too much actual money chasing too few goods and services.

That blue line tells the truth on basic M1. From about $4T to $6.5T. The Fed lumped in all savings deposits into a reworked M1 to try to hide what they did to basic M1.
