This is really not how it works. Many economists think this is how it works but actual real world events have made it very clear that governments cannot simply manufacture inflation [1]. Governments like Japan wish they could produce inflation.
Inflation is much, much, much more complicated than merely "too much money." It's much more about real economic quantities affecting the price level [2]. This is usually driven by demand for something an economy cannot manufacture itself, not government spending. See oil shocks [3] for real inflation.
That said, it's always funny to see paranoid Americans go on about the government stealing money via inflation. What do you think money is? Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
