More questions!

Wouldn't the amount of money being printed determine the risk of hyper-inflation, and do we have a general idea of how much the QE3 is going to create? Any amount of printing money would have an impact on inflation, but I'm not sure what percent would be the beginning of hyper-inflation.

I'm pretty sure the S&P credit downgrade is a scare tactic to pressure the American people to vote the illuminati into office and set in motion NWO. (Not really.)
