FOA in 1998 got his timing wrong but he sure answered the question as to why the US wouldnt hyperinflate at the speed of Weimar

"the German inflation, did not have the moderating influence of a world economy marketplace as today. In that time, large increases in money assets >>

were quickly followed by increases in the prices of goods and services. They had no real means of exporting their money asset inflation to other countries"
