I think you are right. But the funny thing is that you acknowledge how deflated we are, but you don't acknowledge that this recovery is an artificial, phantom recovery. Also, there's a common misconception that economies move from deflation to reflation to inflation to hyper-inflation in a smooth curve. Oftentimes, hyper-inflation has hit very suddenly. Problems accrue over long periods of time, but consequences hit all at once. I don't think there will be much warning when inflation hits. It could hit hard and fast. But I'm not worried about inflation right now either.
