Mike, inflation in the face of Americans with no savings and massive debt, nice solution the FED has, is it not? Inflationary Depression it is, agree..... Arabs will price oil accordingly along with everyone else that will sell us their products. West

'high inflation and sharply negative real growth, hyperinflationary depression would be a better description.' Sounds like 1970's stagflation only with stronger growth in a more global economy. Eventually all that back end monetezation comes home to roost. The key between modest stagflation and inflationary depression. Just imagine how much more nominal GDP growth would be required if long term rates in the US were 400-500 basis points higher?
