It is a pretty strange situation, where a bunch of people are somehow fixated on "hyperinflation" and deficits for political reasons, but economists on both sides of the political spectrum are surprisingly in agreement that that's crap. Perhaps they're wrong, but I'm more confident in the predictions of a moderate conservative with solid macroeconomic understanding, like Greg Mankiw, than I am in the predictions of people like Lew Rockwell, who have been consistently wrong for 25 years now with the same, self-serving predictions (http://hyperinflatingyet.com/shame.html).

Maybe this time they're right, even though they were wrong in 1985, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, ...; but I doubt it.
