As most of know the us dollar has lost spending power ever since the Federal Reserve (A group of private banks) took over printing the dollar. With QE unlimited and no gold standard seems it will only get worse. Could the national debt have something to do with it?

Agentina is dealing with similar issues right now with their peso.

It happened right before WW2 in Germany with the Weimar Republic ....

Whats stopping history from repeating itself by having another hyperinflation incident but this time with the US Dollar?

It wasn't "right before ww2" it was 1920-1922.

What is likely preventing hyperinflation is the lack of full employment.

Are you saying the GDP is correlated? more details please...

Not GDP but consumer spending and consumer attitudes, these almost define the basis of hyperinflation. "High money turnover."

Hmm, so if more people were employed or self employed more money would be in the market.. making it worth less, causing inflation to speed up?

Y it's consumer spending cycles that do it. Money that goes from banks loaned to people for houses then back to banks is dead money. Consumer spending is the cycle that drives hyperinflation. The necessary prerequisite though is for the people to prefer hard goods over the currency. Hyper is when people dump money as soon as they et it for food, gasoline, whatever. The money then has no home, and it accumulates not in the hands of buyers or sellers.... there is so much more of it that it rapidly becomes worth less.
