wages are at an all time low. No one has money we have 25 million of of work and interest rates at all time lows, No one has money how could we have inflation?

@MrJapper88 All you have to do is go to the grocery store to see inflation, even though it is largely hidden there (smaller packages & especially falling quality.) Alternatively look at the price of gold & silver - your best indicators. Your wages haven't gone up because the bankers are hoarding it while they collapse the economies. Then they will buy up everything for pennies on the dollars. Our system is 100% corrupt. They are allowing the banksters to create millions, it's coming.

@itubeyoublah Doesn't everybody have shag carpet on their walls?

@sgtcrab1 All of those services can be performed by the private sector, and MUCH more efficiently than by govt, which wastes 80% of every dollar paid to them. Paying taxes to govt is paying your masters to enslave your children. Wake up to the encroaching tyranny you weak-minded, brainwashed, socialist pig!

@thenewsurvivalist What we have are safety nets for producers in the guise of social programs. 78 million Americans on food stamps insulate producers form swings in demand so when the economy tanks they never have to lower prices to sell goods because they have a guaranteed buyer with huge pockets. Same with Section 8 housing and the renters market, and this is why College education goes up 12 percent every year. Real workers have to pay for all this, and puts the prices out of reach for them

@thenewsurvivalist the money is there, produces are not meeting demand plan and simple. they never want to it is a game they play every christmass when they make 400 xboxs, and watch idiots bid themselves out of money for cheap chinese plastic crap. It is why Consumer demand for gas is down and prices are so high. As demand goes down so should prices... Nope not it this BS lier economy.

@MrJapper88 You are wrong. Look up inflation in the dictionary. Inflation is always and has always been a monetary event, too much money chasing goods. You mean that you are so dense that you can't see the connection between the trillions of dollars of money creation recently and the inflation that we are seeing. We are seeing the result of Keynesian economics. It is the cause of our current collapse. We have proof now Keynesioan economics DOESN'T WORK. Austrian economics is correct.

Ya just keep paying taxes so we can continue to waste it on bail outs, welfare and social services that are being abused, rebuilding of other countries while we have homeless on the streets, etc. When the government stops wasting my money I'll be more then happy to pay taxes but as long as it wastes I'm gonna save as much as I can and use it for whats more important to me......my family not those in government. I buy on ebay, craigslist, and through friends when possible.

@thenewsurvivalist I am a firefighter and veteran who was and still is being paid by tax dollars. Am I also a weak minded brainwashed socialist pig, even though I believe in our constitution, am a second amendment advocate, and am a pro life, Christian conservative tea partier?? I think not. Some things are meant to be paid for with tax dollars, some are not! "Private armys or fire deparments never run well anywhere they have been tried!

I thought you said, " " Perhaps you have a still..."

VAT in the UK is now at 20% but then we have the National Health Service where all healthcare is free

@FearTurtles The simple answer is "no." They told me you must sell it on the land where it was grown! The government is big business only and so they do everything they can to force the little guys out ! There is a guys that sales using emails to his old farmers market customers. He send out an email every week listing want he has harvested but you must still go by his place to buy it !
