You should look at the quantity of money equation - https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/ap-macroeconomics/ap-long-run-consequences-of-stabilization-policies/money-growth-and-inflation/a/money-growth-and-inflation. Even the mainstream economic theory suggests that spending doesn't necessarily mean inflation. And of course we have the humongous example of massive spending in Japan since 1990 that hasn't triggered inflation for decades.

That said I got the best intuition for inflation from Randall Wray's intro to MMT. Truly insightful material. You can find several lectures of his on YouTube. Highly recommended.
