Source? (And identifying who FR is might help some non-NC Freepers as well.)

Well, I’m glad someone finally figured this out!! All they have to do is raise the minimum wage to $500 an hour, and we’ll all be rich. Jeez! You’d think these Nobel Prize winners would have grasped this a long time ago.

Some, moderate inflation in an expanding economy is normal and a consequence of a good thing.

(In generalities)
Long term high inflation crushes economic growth. Any firm doing business over a longer time has difficulties because the cost varies so much. Imagine attempting to manage a project that is complex and over several years in a world with highly variable costs. Inflation makes it difficult to start up and grow a firm because interest rates usually explode and borrowing money becomes too expensive........ Inflation is a common consequence of a rapidly growing economy and it can be acceptable, but in and of itself, inflation is never a desirable or good thing unless your a debtor in that society at a fixed rate and can watch as your debt inflates away over time. Inflation benefits those that have debt, it punishes those that saved. It hurts those on fixed incomes and retirements like the old, but those on the government dole see cost of living adjustments. High unpredictable inflation causes people to move their money into more stable/hard currencies. If it gets far out of control as in some Latin countries, money all together becomes nearly meaningless and people begin to barter.............. Look at inflation like the side effects of chemo therapy. The ill feeling, the hair loss isn't nice, but you're willing to accept those things because of the benefits the treatment will bring. Inflation at times is the consequence of a healthy economy growing, but it can also be the consequence of botched up monetary and fiscal policies and enter the economy even though their is no real growth to show for. -IMHO

He is right if you limit his statement to “inflation is how the ruling class gets wealthier.”

Inflation punishes those who save money and spends smartly such as staying out of debt while going into debt is well rewarded.

“Inflation is a good thing, it’s how we become wealthier”

So money does grow on trees.

I am very disappointed in Frank Roche. If it wasn’t his area of expertise, I might overlook this statement.
I’m going to take a look at the other Republican running in this race.

Strictly speaking, moneychangers were participating in deflation, not inflation.

I went back and read his website.
http://www.rocheforcongress.com/about/

He does sound good.
I hope this was just a glitch. He should have know better, but he is strong on all the conservative issues.

For the benefit of FReepers outside North Carolina, this involves the 4th Congressional District of NC, a primary to go against Rep David Price (D-Muslim Brotherhood) in the fall. In it, Frank Roche a conservative newcomer, is going up against BJ Lawson, a Republican who lost to David Price last time around.

I'll admit to being partial to Roche but I don't think it's just a coincidence that the OP has been here 8 days and just happens to link to a hastily-edited video posted buy a fella subscribed to Roche's opponent's tube account (PBrady13 subscribed to LawsonForCongress).

In the immortal words of the Fox News of yore, "We Report, You Decide"

If Roache wasn’t in the Temple, Jesus would tell a parable to correct him.
