Re-'In the long run it is far easier to pay down Fed debt by hyper inflating(since debt instruments are mostly fixed rated'

I agree. I've been reading the discussion on Silicon investor on Mish's board where he keeps asking how there is any benefit to hyperinflating.

The only way the government will ever be able to repay it's massive debt is by paying back 'fixed' debt with cheaper dollars. And I think that's exactly what they are doing.

Slider has nailed it on the this elimination of any pretense of keeping a strong dollar policy. The gig is up and now the entire world knows it and thats why commoditys are flying.

I'm just curious as to how the Fed will keep a lid on this- now that everyone has acknowledge this inflationary environment.

Ps- Come on Sil-vuh!
