How on earth can we even discuss inflation at this venture? What do you think we have seen these past many years with endless bullshit products being created by the banking sector with a wink and nod from the Fed's? The fact that it took $6 of debt to create $1 GDP by 2007? The fact that oil, copper and the commodities sector went beserk since 2002? The fact that boostrapping the 10 year TIPS gives you a break-even inflation rate that is 0% for the next 5 years with nominal inflation thereafter. Fine, maybe it's wrong, but you are talking magnitudes wrong which will be instantaneously fixed with the flip of a switch in 2011? And the deleveraging of this house of cards is inflationary because why? $1 trillion stimulus against $66 trillion of debt? Have you been to Japan dude? Have you ever been on a plane? I would have thought the last 6 months would have shut you idiots up by now. No inflation until World War and no 70's style inflation until K-Summer. World War sometime after Obama's first term.
