<the $50 trillion i buried >

Well sure... I'm just assuming that 50 trillion would at least be in CD's... ie. in the system.

<i understand why you believe this to be inflationary - and it is in the academic way. but if the prices i pay for everything is falling as demand collapses, what is the point of calling the scenario "inflation?">

Actually I think we agree... it's a matter of where that money goes... and you're right... it's a theoretical excercise anyway.

IMHO, it may be moot anyway since credit is melting fast... and it's NOT OVER... the only question in my mind is WILL THE FED KEEP BUYING IT. To keep up the fed will absolutely have to buy more defaulted paper. We havent even SEEN the worst of the unemployment scene yet, and that's lagging.

And BTW, I agree that we may be on (at least shorter term) a major deflationary spiral. Were are all those new jobs lost in this ridiculously "over retailed, over serviced" service economy come from?
