Even if inflation is 3% it is still eating your lunch.

...

It’s better than 6% inflation.

It’s also better than an economy that stops growing and producing what we need.

A damaged economy is what causes harmful inflation as evidenced by countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Iran.

If governments are selling bonds that produce negative yields, I would say we are already have a damaged economy.

Governments are printing money and bonds have negative yields, how is this possible? Where is all of the funny money going?
