"I get a bad feeling someone gonna want to kick us while we are down."
And it will probably be one of the countries america fucking screwed in the name of american greatness. Oh wait, that's most countries. Take your pick.
Inflation only happens when the rest of the world hasn't tied their economies to derivitive ponzi schemes as well. The only thing propping us up, besides China is that the crisis is based on everyone's collective greed with a 500 trillion derivitive market and only 150 trillion in actual household wealth.
I would think the dollar should plunge, with all the dollars theyre printing but it isn't, implying the rest of the world is caught in a similar scheme. Central banking pretty much is the standard. Ive heard tax money goes to the Fed from the IRS which the gov then has to borrow at interest. Meaning it is impossible to pay off government debt unless they printed money themselves.
The dollar is not punging now because of all the deleveraging in the European and American markets. They are all selling off their assets for US dollars.
If Americans are so broke and indebted, why worry about inflation? There are no savings to be devalued, whilst any debt would lose its value (including the trillions owed to foreign governments). I'm not advocating hyperinflation, but I don't think it makes much sense to say you're broke and indebted, yet will suffer from inflation.
companys are going bankrupt from our trade deficit. thus the bailout. printing money backed by nothing leads to inflation.
americans have no savings. the majority of americans live hand to mouth and have huge credit debts. its not too complicated. what don't you understand....
I'm not saying that the U.S. economy is in good shape; I'm saying that your argument is incoherent, because inflation favours debtors - in this case U.S. citizens and their government - over creditors.
inflation may favour debtors but at some point the whole thing becomes moot. unemployment keeps going up and people have less and less money yet a loaf of bread climbs to ridiculous prices like $100 (see weimar republic) then creditors don't really matter anymore. When the fed prints more money it exacerbates the thing its trying to fix. Printing money won't help, especially since bailing out the auto industry is just keeping them around so they can lay people off slower.
@sssssup this is only true when you have an increase in wages due to the huge influx of money, but when you have an open immigration policy coupled with hyperinflation, you get stagnation in wages as there is a surplus of labor. Not good for workers who face raising food energy and housing prices.

Inflation also occurs when you create at last count 8.5 Trillion dollars out of thin air via the Banker Bailouts.
