The dilution of our currency can continue for many years and will.
It’s part of the plan to avoid a deep depression, which is why we are in a long shallow depression. This will last about 8-10 more years until the demographic situation begins to turn in our favor again. I calculate we will lose about 45% of our collective wealth over this period.
Predicting an “explosion” or a collapse has become a meme, but a false one. The FED can easily continue like this for a very long time.
It’s a stealth, slow-motion devaluation. Not saying I agree with it, just identifying what’s being done.
Sorry about the triple post, don’t know how that happened.
Understood - but the getting away with this for a 'very long time' is 'iffy'. Granted - you have history to back that one up - the Fed has been getting away with this for a very long time; but I don't think it would take to much to pop the balloon.
Barring any black swan events or major wars, this is how it will play out.
