I kind of agree with this which is why I am not too scared about buying intermediate term municipal bonds. Sure, I could lose 10% of my investment if inflation jumps to 7% or 8% really fast but with a 10% unemployment it would be a total disaster for the country (many more defaults and bankruptcies would thrust us back into a depression). I think it more likely that we get a slow creep up to 5% inflation over the next 5 to 10 years.
