Forecast: partly cloudy, rampant inflation.

I'm not an economist. I only play one on tv. But does not this portend massive inflation?
It took 200-years for the monetary base to go from $0 to $800 billion, but in just the past 3-months it has grown from around $800 billion to $1.5 trillion, and by the time you read this it will probably be surpassing $1.6 trillion. That's double the number of paper dollars in existence since last summer!
