Is there no limit at which point the Fed will stop printing money? In theory, once all that money printing hits the actual economy and inflation starts going up, they'll have increase interest rates. I'm not sure I believe that 100%. I wonder how complacent they will be once inflation does start to raise, and eventually spiral out of control.

Inflation rates under the current administration have been very high relative to previous years after the 2008 crash. The Obama era Fed struggled to hit their 2% controlled inflation mark during the economic recovery but it has sat closer to 3% in recent years. See the chart in the link below:
