The situation we're in now is pretty close to what some people were warning about back in 2008 when the feds decided on their massive monetary expansion.

By the time inflation starts to heat up (it doesn't happen right away), there will be immense pressure to delay any monetary contraction for fear of dampening economic growth. Then Covid hit and the economy was goosed with another massive injection while everyone worried about a recession.

Then once inflation starts it's too damn late to put the genie back in the bottle so you just spend the next 5-10 years trying to get it under control while not entirely tanking the economy.
