Why "reparations" in the United States cannot work

I have written about this before, but I think it deserves rehashing. 

The American far left came up a decade or so ago with the idea that the United States government needs to pay "reparations" to all black people in the country. "Reparations" for what? For something that happened to other people two hundred years ago.

And they aren't demanding like a couple thousand bucks per person. They are demanding millions of dollars per person. I think the most insane demand that some activist seriously presented in California's congress was 200 million dollars per person.

There are many, many reasons why this cannot work and would only destroy the economy of the country.

For starters, any economist, or pretty much anybody with even a modicum of an education, will give you the simple answer to why poverty cannot be fixed by simply printing more money (as children and low-IQ uneducated adults sometimes suggest): Just printing more money and dumping it onto the population does not increase wealth. The only thing it does is that it devalues that money, in other words, it decreases the purchasing power of that money, ie. decreases its value. If you print 10 times more money than normal, then very quickly everything will just cost 10 times more, so nothing really changes. (And no, this is not because sellers are greedy and want to take advantage. The economy of a country is a complex dynamic thing that's constantly changing, and there are multiple interconnected reasons for this, but the inevitable outcome is that, want it or not, very quickly everything will cost 10 times more to compensate, or else the entire economy just collapses. The value of money is dependent on the actual value of resources, and printing more money simply means that the increased amount of money now represents the unchanged value of those resources, and thus each individual monetary unit now represents less value.)

There's a name for this decrease in purchasing power of money: Inflation. 

If you suddenly just dumped hundreds of billions of dollars onto the population, without it corresponding to any actual feedback in the economic system (ie. production of resources and goods, etc.) the only thing that will cause is decreasing the value of that money. And it would not only decrease for the people receiving these "reparations" but for everybody. Thus you wouldn't end up with a bunch of newly rich people. You only end up with a bunch of newly poor people. You would get super-inflation.

Secondly, none of these people demanding "reparations" is saying where exactly that extra money is supposed to come from. Taxpayer money, I suppose. So what would it be away from? Or should taxes be raised to compensate?

Which would mean that not only would people get poorer because of super-inflation, but on top of that their taxes would be increased to make their situation even worse, so they would have even less money. And on top of that governmental services would probably be cut (including eg. health and welfare services).

Thirdly, how exactly do you control who gets and doesn't get these "reparations"? What restrictions would be put in place to limit who gets the free millions, and how would these restrictions be enforced? If millions are being handed for free, it's 100% guaranteed that a huge amount of people will try to take advantage. That's a given. So how exactly would the eligibility of the people for the "reparations" be corroborated and enforced?

Fourthly, how much would be enough? It's also 100% certain that when people start getting free money, nothing will ever be enough. There will never, ever become a point where they will say "ok, this is enough, you don't need to give me any more." On the contrary, the moment you stop giving them free money they will start revolting. People will feel entitled to an endless supply of that free money for "reparations" and will turn violent and criminal if it ever stops.
