This is dimwit CNN talking head economics. Go read what Keynes (and Mises) actually wrote instead of regurgitating an undergraduate economics textbook.
In such an environment you want to get rid of your USD as fast as possible and turn them into something you value, whether it be land or whatever. The money itself is by design an inflationary currency. Most people don't understand this, which is just fine with the people who print the money and the ones who distribute and loan it out.
Now, having lots of liquid cash AKA liquidity is a good thing as long as you get rid of it soon by putting it in assets. Lots of people gladly go into debt taking out loans to buy productive assets and declare bankruptcy multiple times playing this kind of game. It's kind of insane in a way.
