Hyperinflation is defined when the inflation rate hits 1,000%.

This happens when:

(1) an increase in money supply not supported by economic growth, which increases inflation

(2) a demand-pull inflation, in which demand outstrips supply.

Biden printing $2 trillion, and then another $4 trillion, and then another planned $4 trillion by the end of the year, injecting it into the money supply during a time of negative economic growth.

Plus a demand-pull inflation, which outstrips supply, which we already seeing. Lots of materials are already in short supply, especially construction materials.

How long until America sees hyperinflation happen?

Exactly. I point this out when this subject comes up. A bag of chips has more air than food. I remember back in 2008 or 2009 when the size of a normal twix bar was changed to about 60 percent of what one was before. No, I dont eat that shit in case you're wondering.

Murray Rothbard wrote about this when he said consumers will always accept a reduction in quality over an increase in price.
