"Yellen hints at boosting inflation to create jobs"

I've never seen an administration as determined as this one to impoverish the nation's retirees.

“The Fed’s mandate is to serve all Americans,” Yellen said. “Too many Americans still can’t find jobs and worry how they’re going to pay their bills and provide for their families.”

Making everything more expensive will cure this how again?

The elderly who thought their careful savings would last them during their retirements better start stocking up on dog food. It will be in short supply with this idiot at the helm of the Fed. But she is The First Woman Fed Chief, another affirmative action hire for Obumbles, and that’s what matters. No doubt she’ll be the puppet and Obumbles will be pulling the strings, led by his inflated self-esteem that has no connection to experience.

Since half the population is now used to not working at all and the half willing have to pay for the half unwilling, why the heck does she even care about jobs? If the country has decided as a matter of policy to rely on only half the population as oarsmen, why would they want to disincentivize the willing to save? Government control and regulation begets only more until we end up where 1+1 wont even equal 2 anymore. This great thing we’ve had is over.....

Can someone explain the concept inflation ———> jobs ? Is there any actual theory other than some scatterplot somebody made. 50 years ago?

Nobody repaying their student loans? There must be consequences, no?

Won’t the banks/Sallie Mae force either just take the money or otherwise force them into backruptcy?

“The socialist revolution can only succeed when the bourgeois (the Middle Class)are crushed between the twin grindstones of inflation and taxation

That really is happening. If they really wanted the “rich” to pay, they would tax actual wealth and not paychecks.

They claim this chick is a genius-—a keynsian genius. “Devaluation of the dollar”-—oh, yeah. Beranky already did that and she is smart enough to realize/admit it, I guess. What she’s admitting is that the inflation monster has been held back with phony book keeping about as long as it can be. Remember back in Jimmah’s day they hadn’t figgered out a way to lie about it yet? And I still remember that mortgage I had at 11-1/2%. Oh, the fun that is coming. They have always intended to pay down the Fed debt with wheelbarrow sized purty colored bills. Did you see the new 100 note-—looks like Eurotrash money?

There is no guarantee that their wages will rise in an inflationary way!

In office a few days and already she’s a failure.
Inflation destroys everything, including jobs.
When prices go up, the value of money goes down, and makes the ‘economic indicators’ go up. But the numbers are bogus, because they are not in constant-value figures.

There is colossal stupidity on the part of economists and journalists. When dollars are worth less, the numbers go up. People with a brain know that the higher numbers are meaningless due to inflation. But economists, journalists, and other mental midgets start crowing about the rising numbers.

More Q$E? Wait a minute, its at 85 billion a month now, that’s a lot of printing money. That comes out to 10 bucks a day per every American. 300 a month. I still haven’t received any.

They say they are buying mortgage backed securities, well they can buy mine....one million dollars and they can buy it.

And now they are going to print MORE?.....
