I would like to point out that in order to put the economy into hyperinflation (50% month to month inflation), it would require the Fed to print and parachute somewhere between 50 and 200 trillion dollars in one year.

It's not very likely to happen.

There's 6 trillion M0 USD in circulation, and 20 trillion in M2.

Hyperinflation is defined as ~50% monthly inflation. This means that the value of money drops ~100 fold in a year. You tell me - how much money will the fed have to print, in order to hit that target, and where would it need to parachute it?
