I'm not sure about your first statement -- there is large fixed investment which is supported by debt -- debt collapses and the prices go down -- that's real. But I agree in general -- all the printing means -- some prices go up and some prices go down. Here is a simple question that I think will be most useful in discerning what prices will go up and what prices will go down -- What prices are supported by the acquisition of debt and what prices are not? i.e. the prices of food and energy will certainly go up in dollars; the prices of homes will go down => real wages go down. Fixed capital investments for businesses?? it will be according to the ability of the investment to still garner first -- profit and second -- revenues. if they can't get either -- the price is gonna go down and fast -- don't matter how much they print.
