"As far as inflation goes, it is probably not escapable"

Not only that; it is mathematically guaranteed

[Iris7]

I disagree with "mathematically guaranteed", but I will amazed if inflation is not the route chosen.

Something as trivial as crashing the housing market is avoided for political reasons right now, so what will be the choice when fifty percent unemployment is in the cards and no welfare is available? Let the voters starve?

I think we will see an extended period of double digit inflation and unemployment. The Dems will likely be able to hang the thing on the Pubs, since the voters are too stupid to count with their toes.
