However, in the meantime I dont see much desire on the part of banks to lend money. Who really wants to expand their business, or buy a new home. Sure there are a few folks, but nothing on the scale that would be required to create an inflationary environment. Also, as much money as we have printed, it still is less then the wealth that has evaporated. Ill stay on the deflationary side for the time being, but do believe stagflation could be the end result.
Surely, prices will inflate at some future point,but who knows when that it is!
