circulation the system can absorb much more inflationary pressure than
previously thought. Could be that this system is controlled more by behavioral
economics than economics. Maybe people just believe a dollar is worth about X

I believe serious inflation won't come in an incremental fashion, it will come
in a black swan tidal wave. I could be wrong and I seriously hope I am!! I
just don't think it's prudent to say, well we all thought (rationally and
rightly) QE was going to cause inflation because it's so obviously an
aggressively inflationary policy... then since it didn't we just turn the page
and say oh well... glad that didn't blow up the dollar. We need to understand
