The plan is to not print a lot of money all of a sudden. The ideal is to inflate gradually, as the Fed has been doing for decades (destroying 97% of the dollar in the process).

As twisted as it is, the US has an interest in seeing the Euro destroyed. It would leave the dollar as the only standing potential global currency (until perhaps China unlocks their currency, but who knows when that would be). Then the US could abuse the dollar at a much greater scale, with fewer competing major currencies for money to escape to.
