I am quite sure there is not going to be any inflation or hyper-inflation. The U.S is spending a lot, but it's also very very high income. And a lot of countries have no interest in one of the biggest consumer group for their products disappearing.<p>The U.S dollar will stay weak because this promotes manufacturing, which is what the U.S needs to be doing right now. But it will not weaken much more.<p>The one thing you can use to measure the long term financial stability of a country is its infrastructure, and when you start seeing roads decaying then start expecting inflation in a year or two. Till then, things are fine.
