I think you are missing the fundamental reason why inflation has remained low. If we were an isolated economic entity and the Fed acted as it has, we would likely have inflation. Instead, our major trading partners strive to keep low currency values relative to ours, because we run a very large trade imbalance with them, and they are net exporters dependent on our excesses. Our own economy can't inflate prices in such a situation. If our producers tried to inflate, they would go out of business.

Put another way, if RE could be imported, it would never have had an inflation bubble either.
