Just re-read the late, great Larry Burkett's book, "The Coming Economic Earthquake," written in 1991, where he humbly guesstimated a year 2000 Depression and the almost inevitiability of hyperinflation. I'm thinking he's only about a decade off....it's eerie to read his thoughts, and his list of the actions that the politicians will take that show how close we are to the financial cliff. Downright scary.

If you care to know, QE1&2 are among those things, as well as desperate taxation to the hilt (coming) and seizure of private retirement accounts.

And, while Mr. Burkett isn't even being conspiratorial or weird, he hints at the lack of character of government officials and politicians (working deals to America's detriment but for their own pockets to be lined) in combo with global elites who seek impoverishment of everyone so they can have a pliant workforce of biobots to rule over. Who can deny the greed, selfishness, and laziness of many Americans, and the greed of elites and corporations to serve themselves? It used to be called fascism, but we call it Hope-and-Change.

As the Obummer says himself - get used to it...and I'd add, "Put some ice on it."

I won’t argue with any of that.

My point is that there will be inflation and the politicos will use the tools available to attempt to hold it to a level that will be hated but tolerated.
