Some Think That By Preparing To Deal

The World Is Likely To View Any Temporary Extension Of The Income Tax Cuts For The Top Two Percent As A Prelude To A Long-term Or Permanent Extension, And That Would Hurt Economic Recovery As Well By Undermining Confidence That We're Prepared To Make A Commitment Today To Bring Down Our Future Deficits.

Hyperinflation Is Not Going To Happen In This Country, Will Never Happen... The Fed Putting So Much Money Into The System Is Not Going To Create The Risk Of Hyperinflation In The Future.
