Anyway my overall situation takeaway is that Yellen seems to be getting slightly more “reasonable” on stimulus and inflation, insofar as she is part of the fed and also maybe somewhat less than well versed.

Another measure of inflation is gold, which has flattened out at $1250/oz since about late 2012:

WHAT could possibly go wrong? That's why they're going to come up with a "global" economic "solution".
