    Inflation will allow the general public to escape mostly unscathed?

    Haha, well, credit-wise. Their bank borrowings will devaluate. Obviously, the cost of living will go up, but you usually don't take out big loans to pay for groceries anyway. And since car sales are down, and housing is too, and these are the 2 biggest expenses in general, i think right now inflation would be less of a problem than if petrol was still cheap, and houses expensive.
