Shadowstats' John Williams: Prepare For The Hyperinflationary Great Depression
The U.S. economic and systemic solvency crises of the last two years are just precursors to a Great Collapse: a hyperinflationary great depression. Such will reflect a complete collapse in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, a collapse in the normal stream of U.S. commercial and economic activity, a collapse in the U.S. financial system as we know it, and a likely realignment of the U.S. political environment. The current U.S. financial markets, financial system and economy remain highly unstable and vulnerable to unexpected shocks. The Federal Reserve is dedicated to preventing deflation, to debasing the U.S. dollar. The results of those efforts are being seen in tentative selling pressures against the U.S. currency and in the rallying price of gold.

I still believe massive Deflation will end up winning before inflation occurs, but if our central bank continues on with these same policies, Williams will be correct. And it would be unfortunate because a hyperinflationary depression is the worst possible scenario.
