J, I can see so way that there will be deflation before hyperinflation. Deflation is an economic consequence. Hyperinflation is a man-made occurrence. In other words, deflation is the end result, hyperinflation is the intervention to delay the inevitable result. Saying that there will be deflation before hyperinflation is like saying, I hope there will be death before the response to chemotherapy in the cancer patient. It just does not and will not occur that way. That's what I say, anyway. For what it's worth. A

Thoughts anyone?...
