I'll beg to differ.
Often, people who aren't aware of all the technical internals are able to explain things in simpler ways.

There's a reason why engineering and sales are different jobs

Well I'm almost starting to believe that the US government can print as much money as they want without any adverse impact on the dollar. The government issues bonds, the fed buys op bonds. It can go on forever, it's like that snake eating its own tail.

Physically spoken it'd never work. Then again, economy is not an exact science... it's more like a branch of psychology.

My guess is : deflation ends when even rich people have no choice but spending their money.  But when this appends, I don't know what poor people would habe been passed through...

Thanks ribuck, but a fully-encrypted hard drive, like http://www.truecrypt.org/ will solve this issue.

Now, I also know that a person in the UK went to jail for "not" revealing his PGP private key password, but i suppose you can always say that you have so many passwords that you forgot.  Also, see similar case "UK teenager jailed for not disclosing password":

Mish has been saying deflation is baked in since q2007, and he was right.  If I had listened to anyone else, I would have lost a small fortune out of my 401k.  As it stands, I did listen and lost very little during the crash.  Mish has been less of a deflationist as of late, but still contends that hyperinflation not a realistic threat, because as bad as QE is for the dollar, 600 Billion isn't a drop in the bucket against the deflationary forces at play, and black swans don't fly in from the direction that the majority are watching.  If so many in mainstream media are talking about hyperinflation, then hyperinflation would be avoided; even if some inflation is not.

Wow, that was one incoherent article.  Either Time is getting desperate for readership and will print any scandalous story to bring people in, or the lamestream media is in panic mode trying to derail the Tea Party express.

Anywhere in the history of the planet has hyperinflation ever been created by the lowering of taxes?

I do find it curious though that almost everybody is worried about hyperinflation.  Why are all the economists, analysts and pundits (including Tea Partiers and Ron Paul, whom I otherwise respect) saying hyperinflation is just around the corner?  The only guy I know of who thinks the real threat is deflation is Robert Prechter, and I tend to agree with him.

Credit and assets are being destroyed much, much faster than the Fed is 'printing' money.  Therefore the money supply has contracted dramatically over the last couple years, and is likely to continue doing so.

Nonetheless, inflation, so far. Not so much. Palin herself seems to have missed the fact that prices in the past year or so have barely budged. So for the past few months, Leeper and Davig and another of Leeper's colleagues Todd Walker have been looking into why. Turns outs that it is very unlikely the Fed would cause hyper-inflation. That's why near zero interest rates and the Fed's early efforts to drive down long-term interest rates have done little to boost inflation. The real threat of inflation comes from tax policy, namely lower taxes. Lower taxes and the government will have a harder time paying back its debt. Investors run from our bonds and currency. Inflation ensues.

Suppose we can produce gold at very low cost, what awesome applications could it be used for? Surely not roads, like they do in heaven. Cups would be moderately less likely to tip over if their bases were made of gold. Maybe cups with gold hemispheres on the bottom would become popular. I'm pretty sure I would want to use gold silverware.
