I agree (except with one minor quibble....)

Since --- thus far --- the amount of monetary liquidity that has been withdrawn from the economy, or flat-out evaporated, during this economic crisis STILL vastly EXCEEDS all of the liquidity that has been injected by government action (both the federal reserve's actions and Congress'), hyper inflation is nowhere even close to being 'locked-in' to our future yet.

So long as excess liquidity is mopped-up before, (or when and if), liquidity is restored by normal recovery... then there need not be any inflationary spike.

For example... RIGHT NOW (at this very minute), the economy is experiencing *deflation* not inflation.
