We aren’t at “peak oil” - we are at a government-induced artificial oil supply limit.

They do not have to pass anything. They can just deem it and we will learn to love it later. Deemocrats!

Is Mr. Karlgaard a Swede from Minnesota? ;-)
If we see much inflation, IMO, it will be during the more obvious end of our sovereign debt crisis. The dollar will still be deflated domestically (in the USA) while being inflated internationally (low currency). In other words, oil and foreign product prices will become higher for Americans, while they will continue to spend less.
And if our government does not shed huge numbers of employees, the default will be unavoidable. If Mr. Karlgaard is correct about his prediction of debt percentage to GDP, then debt will surpass GDP earlier than
predicted from sources, "BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, IMF" ("Chart 3," presented by Bill Gross of Pimco/Allianz for January, 2010, in his article, "Let's Get Fisical").
Watch for a possible Treasury bond collapse followed by much decreased business activity in the USA in the near future.

The “solution” will be to cut spending or to raise taxes. A Value Added Tax is already being talked about.

I measure inflation by watching the price of my favorite health food - potato chips.
Three years ago I could buy the store brand potato chips - 16ozs. for 99¢.
The store brand has disapeared and now I’m forced to buy national brands - 10 to 11 ozs. for $3.99.
This week I saw some wierd yuppie brand - avacado, banana and catsup flavored, I think - $3.99 for 7 ozs.
Inflation has already arrived, at least in my world.

I always appreciate reading material regarding inflation/deflation. I am still a confused mess as to which way we go. Some folks are convinced one way or the other. I’m baffled.
