Currently we have all of them in play - the Demand-pull inflation, Cost-push inflation andBuilt-in inflation. They are bubbling up and soon, they will be ready to explode, pop up, withunimaginable consequences for the US and World economies.
US government is borrowing and printing money as never before, throwing money ongoods and services they do not need, hoping to stimulate the businessesand reduce the unemployment. Businesses seeing, that the government is willing tospend as much money as they can - charge them as much as they want...
Oil and food prices are rising on higher demand and shortages, because of climate and social -political changes around the world.
For now the wages of most of the private businesses workers are stagnant and
businesses are cutting hours and laying off workers, but the government keeps hiring andindexing the government workers wages according to the inflation rate . And wait and seewhen the hyperinflation starts, the government will mandate the private businesses tokeep up workers wages up, rising them at least as much as the rate of inflation.
If the government can keep printing and borrowing and keeps the government spending up
and also keeps hiring the laid off workers from the private sector...then brace for HYPERINFLATION
If the government cannot keep the spending and aggregate demand up, cannot hirelaid off workers from private sector, because of budget shortages ....
then brace for STAGFLATION
The second scenario seems more probable at the momentTheCynicalEconomist.com
