How many trillions can Helicopter Ben drop on the economy before it overheats, and melts into a puddle?

Working just as planned by Barry, SEIU, ACORN, APOLLO, and the other radical factions that surround Barry.

They must destroy the current system(s) before they can reform it in the image they so desire to form it into.

Uh, we didn’t have hyperinflation in the 70’s or the 80’s. We’ve never had hyperinflation in America. Not that I think it isn’t possible but people need to remember just what hyperinflation is. Hyperinflation is a rate of inflation that is equal to 50% a month or 600% a year.

Didn’t hyperinfaltion begin in 1978 after the minimum wage was raised twice in one year and then continue into the early 80’s?

Is Grassley joking or just someone that slept through macroeconomics in college? We have our necks pinned against the zero lower bound (effective rates 0 to .25) and he is talking about hyperinflation? This has to be some kind of joke or a political maneuver because it makes zero sense. We have PLENTY of room vis a vis monetary policy to head off problems going north but nothing other than fiscal policy and “pseudo-monetary” policy available going south.

Anyone positing hyperinflation in our current economic situation is flat out ignorant or disingenuous, or maybe a little of both.
