nothing cures inflation better than a depression brought on by sudden currency swings that catch folks by surprise and implodes their balance sheet that would otherwise be solvent by liquidity shortage i believe china export will not be substantively disadvantaged by rmb appreciation by 50-100%, but the speed at which it happens may matter besides, the so-called inflation 'problem' is still tame, in the context of real wage increases already booked and continue to be scored i.e. what is the urgency? why not welcome the soon to be spent treasury checks by spendthrift walmart shoppers? what is wrong with a dollar mountain that earns a yield, and will be soon buying much more value via open exchange and private transactions? chill, relax, lie back, enjoy all of what is happening is what the electorates collectively wished for, asked for, and are what they are getting, democratically :0)

The facts are in charge not the bureaucrats. There is a delay for the bureaucrats to understand that. People don;t hate inflation. They love it! Once they get a like for it, becomes very hard to remove it.
