> What is "massive"? Right now they are talking about $2 trillion, which is about 10% of GDP. Spending 10% of 1 year of income on "maintenance" isn't scary to me.

The Quantitative Easing program from 2008-2014 (6 years duration) injected about $4T into the economy. Today, a similar amount is being injected in just 1 month, albeit by purchasing different assets.

The inflation risk is very real.

You will obviously be a very rich person by allocating your portfolio to take advantage of this massive inflation. Just like all of the people who called for massive inflation starting in 2009..
