Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions

[USSR Didnt Fall]

I am confused I thought China/Russia was our federal government?

[KoRn]

The ‘reset’ is fast approaching.

[Brilliant]

Yes, but that is just another way of saying they’ve printed a lot of money. They print money, and they buy treasuries with it.

[null and void]

A serious collapse of the dollar and hyperinflation likely won’t come from the physical printing of money itself. It will come from a breakdown of faith and confidence in our fiat system.

And THAT, unlike the slow propagation of freshly printed bank notes through the economy, can occur in a matter of hours.

The Peter Schiff/Austrian Economics ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

FROM ABOVE :"A bit of recent news that hasn't gotten enough press is the fact that the Federal Reserve has surpassed China in total U.S. Treasury holdings and is now the largest holder of Treasuries in the world. As of last week, China held $896 billion of Treasuries while Japan held $877 billion. The Fed now holds $1.108 trillion and it has not even passed the halfway mark of its second round of money printing, which they call Quantitative Easing."

And the MSM says it's world demand driving up prices. Yep, how is our demand going up with so few new jobs being created?

[Tainan]

The Fed now holds $1.108 trillion and it has not even passed the halfway mark of its second round of money printing, which they call Quantitative Easing.

By June the Fed could own $1.6 trillion of Treasury bonds. The experiment that the Fed has embarked upon is simply unprecedented in this country. So far it has been an abysmal failure.

Pardon my economical ignorance on this topic...but idn't this also known as "pumping the cow"?
Or some similar term for increasing the monetary supply by means other than normal.

[freedomfiter2]

Good. Now’s a good time to end the FED.

[WashingtonSource]

Good grief.

[Visceral]

So, the Fed admits they hold more debt than China. Something just doesn’t add up; The US has 14 trillion of debt. According to this link -

http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/mfh.txt

foreign governments hold about 4.5 trillion. that leaves almost 9 trillion. Who holds that?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Federal Reserve has surpassed China in total U.S. Treasury holdings and is now the largest holder of Treasuries in the world.

That's great... it means we're rich!!! Treasury can use them to pay off the Social Security Trust Fund IOUS.

I didn't say for whom.

[CodeToad]

This is nothing but money laundering, a complete and total crime.

[pointsal]

Looks like the virgins at the Federal Reserve Bank are self-certifying their purity.

Why am I skeptical?

If the FED has crap on the books, when (Oh when?) will it be market to market and called speculative junk? ...

...Just curious....

[April Lexington]

Ask this simple question... if the Treasury offers bonds and nobody buys them at the”target” interest rate except the Fed, who will buy those bonds from the Fed? Buyers will offer substantially less than the Fed paid to compensate for the added risk (real interest rate). If the Fed just holds to maturity, the Treasury will have to cough up the dough to pay off the bonds. It will either have to raise taxes on the stupid American serfs or issue more bonds to pay off the old bonds. Who will buy the new bonds at such low interest rates? Answer... the Fed. Money is now an illusion. The government has severed public spending from the tax paying base. It now taxes the peasants until they squeal and borrows the rest. From who? Not the Chines anymore. Nope. The Fed. The guys with the unlimited cash supply. So... watch public spending increase unabated and watch the money supply explode. Then... watch yourself become poor as the currency collapses. There is no stopping the nightmare now. The Government has figured out how to spend money without the burden of howling tax payers or recalcitrant lenders. Just pull it out of thin air and spend it to keep power.
