Seems like some economists are bouncing around the possibility that "printing money", high government debt loads and high government spending are not unavoidably inflationary - at times they are and at times they aren't - if you get the timing right you can definitely set aside some of the old concerns - but if you get it wrong say hello to 1975 stag-flation. It will be interesting to see how the last dozen or so years pan out in the long run. If economists adjust their models, if government can "thread the needle".Hopefully the effect is positive, and oddly we haven't seen the consequences, even minimally. I don't think anyone has a solid explanation on why the Fed can create $4Trillon out of thin air and buy bonds and inflation remains practically nonexistent.
