The Fed has been "printing money" to buy treasury instruments, selling debt, and borrowing to continue the massive deficit spending; however, they are keeping what they are doing out of the public money supply thereby avoiding the problem of hyperinflation. But it's a shill game the end of which is a higher national debt.
We can't just run the national debt up at the rate we are and not expect inflation at some point. There is a threshold that triggers currency devaluation. This happens for many reasons when debt behind currency climbs too high. An obvious example is that other currencies become more attractive than the currency mired in massive debt.
Historically, the slide begins somewhat suddenly and it's like a domino effect. So things look stable for a long time as the debt soars and then currency devaluation finally kicks in as investors stop purchasing the currency and start dumping it flooding the markets, etc... It happens rapidly from that point forward until the currency value correction is finally normalized.
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) has already announced it's going to clear some of the debt through currency devaluation. They want to do it slowly and hopefully avoid the scenario above but at the rate the national debt is soaring I just don't see that happening. Currency devaluation is definitely coming and since we've literally trashed U.S. trade and our economy so badly add stagnancy to that. Stagnation + inflation = stagflation.
Stagflation is where we're headed and nobody's doing anything to turn it around.
uhhh, we been printing money out of thin air for quite some time now actually..
