What if the Inflation is Peaking Right Now?

Let's throw out for a moment the wacky govt. numbers and grant the much higher, independently figured numbers indicating much higher inflation--right now--and the deeply negative interest rates. Again, let's grant that inflation is running at least 6% as some say, if not higher.

Well, what if that is the peak? What if the supposed further explosion in inflation is not coming, and that the 25% rise in oil in just the last 6 mos. along with other commodities is already engineering a new recession in the US--which is about to be revealed like a sledgehammer falling?

Have we all been cowed by the govt. inflation numbers, even as we doubt them, into thinking that a gargantuan inflation still lies ahead of us? Again, what if we simply accept that the Terrible Inflation is already with us?

Doesn't that make it easier, a little easier then, to see how much closer we might be to the triggering--and the onset--of the Monster Deflation?

What if the trigger has already been pulled?
