I'm just addressing the tapering process. Of course real rates are going to continue to be negative and the Fed Funds Rate will have difficulty rising above 1% for the reasons you cited. My point is that the Fed's $120-billion a month buying is causing a huge dislocation in the markets now that the economy has recovered its trend. If the Fed backs off the pedal and the government backs off of stimulus programs, you take a lot of the tailwinds for inflation away. Without those things and almost no population growth, it's difficult to have an inflationary boom.
