In the meltdown of 2008, about $4 trillion disappeared. The Feds pumped $4 trillion into the economy. Net result: close to zero. That was good, because the result of $4 trillion disappearing was going to be quite a deflationary crash.

The trick was going to be removing that $4 trillion that they injected at the right rate. And what actually happened is that they didn't remove it. Is it showing up now, years later, in asset inflation, because they failed to remove it all this time? I could see that.
