Indeed, there is a high risk of hyperinflation. I think that the main problem is that USA cannot do anything else to save their economy. They have to provide cash to banks and other financial institutions to offset consequences of the crisis. Of course, the best solution to the problem would be not to provide any financial help and let the economy to heal itself. But this would result in a social war.

Ellen Brown of course has a much different idea of what financial problems we have and how things ought to work.

Comments? (Bill?)

Frankly, as much as I thought I once knew, I'm not even going to pretend anymore to understand the nature of the problem these days...

me: We're not hyperinflating yet. Nor in the next year. In fact we have not yet chosen that path.

However...when the funds run dry or our debt becomes too much of a burden, I think it is highly likely that our Gov will toy with the idea of money printing (aka quantitative easing).

If they do, we will then see first-hand the power of strong inflation.
