Stagflation is right around the corner, then deflation, and finally runaway inflation as interest rates go into the double digits.

Concur, a very real possibility...Here is an excerpt from a 2002 Bernanke speech:

If we do fall into deflation, however, we can take comfort that the logic of the printing press example must assert itself, and sufficient injections of money will ultimately always reverse a deflation.

Yes, that is when I will welcome the increase in interest rates. I could use a good 21% CD again, like they were in the Carter years.
