Robert Heller, former CEO of Visa, discusses the threat of inflation arising from the massive amounts of stimulus money being injected into the system by the Fed. He argues that once the stimulus money begins to take effect, the Fed will be hesitant to rein in growth - which, if left unchecked, may lead to another economic bubble.

Many investors today find themselves adrift amidst aggressive speculation and high-risk trading. Reassuring those planning for the long term could be the key to stabilizing volatile markets - but how to do it? Heller puts his extensive experience in business, academics and policy - including three years with the Federal Reserve - to the task. - Commonwealth Club of California

The US will be lucky to survive it's current recession. They're inflating another bubble and it's going to be the coup de grace for the country.

The trade imbalance will stop when the dollar is devalued by massive spending from the stimulus.

Your all missing the point including this man. The idea is to create inflation in the US economy. The higher the inflation the lower previous debts become. This man is worried because he will have to pay higher and higher interest rates to the federal reserve instead of pocketing them. Also the debts owed to him will lose more and more of their value as inflation rises. Income distribution will return to a sustainable level as asset values are wiped out in real terms.

This guy escaped regulation on his exorbitant interest rates, which he can switch on you at will. That additional cash he takes from people's pockets will end up in the pockets of owned politicians. He won't have to buy Republicans, they are already willing servants.
