> The poor tend to be net borrowers.

Wages for the poor won't go up because they don't have any leverage in terms of negotiating. With no fixed assets and no negotiating power to demand higher wages, the value of the real payback won't change for them, but the cost of living will go up.

It'll help a few people who got lucky and bought houses within the last couple of years, but the truly poor (no assets) are about to get much poorer in terms of purchasing power.
