Re: "with all the massive printing and mammoth spending, you don't think that's inflationary?"

Not YET, no.

Despite all the extra funding it does not match the amount of LIQUIDITY that has evaporated from the system, (so we are still in a dis-inflationary environment).

Actually a bit of inflation is pretty much the only cure for what ails the world's faltering economies right now.

(Later-on however... excess liquidity will have to be withdrawn from the system to prevent the ravages of long-term system inflation. We are *far* from that now though.)
