I'll say Yes, really. You miss the simple fact that they don't create these blips because plenty of money was available for their bidding, or just for the fun of it. The blips are created to make up for the shortfalls and thus support aspects of the economy (and direct the very jobs many people do) that otherwise would change, and we do not see the economy that would/would have otherwise exist/existed.

That's a snapshot, and by the definition of inflation, it doesn't matter where the money is parked today. Once money is created, that is the definition of inflation. I do not subscribe to Economists today that have warped the definition of inflation into general price levels. Why? Because price levels are easily manipulated. How much money has been produced is a hard fast fact.
