USD as the Reserve currency is a factor to consider. The world can tolerate a lot of USD. I hear that small central banks in developing markets directly inflict damage to their citizens by increasing money supply.
A lot of the money is to "fill in" the holes from the deflation and after-effects of the 2008 debt crisis. Make balance sheets technically sound again. In other words.... the inflation already happened over the last 20 years, just need to prevent it from trying to deflate again.
Do you think hes a special op, sent here to dilute your powers so you never take over the world chap?
I think that's the fallacy with those who try to explain the economy today. A lot of them seem to think that the money supply alone is what determines inflation or deflation. I think we've gotta reach that overheating point before the large money supply becomes a problem.

Inflation isn't as low as the government states. They have an agenda and lying about the inflation rate, employment rate, every-other-kind-of-damned-rate supports their deceptions. To the government, the ONLY inflation rate which counts is "wage and price spiral". Government think... "If the price of beef goes up, people will switch to chicken. If the price of chicken goes up, people will switch to beans. If the price of beans goes up, people will switch to eating grass. If the price of grass goes up, people will start eating dirt". See how that works?
People would rather believe a lie from an expert than their own eyes if there is some thinking involved.
