no exception to rapid monetary growth leading to inflation,

It does not lead to inflation. Rapid monetary growth is inflation.

Yep - but the actual effects of inflation lag the excessive printing of "money" by some months. Inflation hasn't caught up with the glut the Fed has poured on the markets, so we can expect the pain to get worse even if they stop the madness right now.
