Old news Uncle Miltie but OH MUH GERD!, have you looked at the prices out in the stores, food is on the rise and products are shrinking again. We had a health muffin from the bakery at Whole Foods, it was 1/3 the size of the same muffin bought there a year ago. Soon the muffin will be the size of a two-bite variety, almost there now and the price $2.00….inflation sucks.
BL…
Right. The coffee cans at walmart are the same diameter but get shorter every 3 months it seems. Soon they will look like frisbies.

Has your welfare state ruined the economy? Are living standards rapidly falling in your nation? Do you owe more than you can possibly ever pay back? Are the filthy innumerate peasants screaming for your blood?
Call 1-800-Inflation now to solve all those problems, and more.
1-800-Inflation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Reserve System, and is Kosher certified.

Am I being a simpleton by saying “He Should Know” ?
I actually remember the “irrational exuberance” he created, then warned us about.
The laws of nature and economics will abolish central bank fraud … for the remnant.
And it’s caused primarily by private bankers, not the government. Uncle Miltie conveniently leaves out that little detail.

It’s caused 1:1 (print one dollar: get one dollar of inflation) by printing dollars that go mainly to the Banksters to create loans for their profit and to the Politicians who give it mainly to the FSA. The Working Class is the one and only group that has to pay almost every penny of the increased prices for everyone else in society out of their own (picked) pockets.
Because that is good inflation… Bankers, realtors, and county assessors like expensive real estate, so go ahead and bid those prices up, up, up and away. “Now is a great time to buy!” says Larry Yun.
And we wonder why Emerging market countries always suffer?
Coincidence? Hardly! By design. Within the context of the race to the bottom, it is easy to see how globalism has ensnared every economy into a vicious system of punishments and rewards…
The U.S., due to the Petro Dollar hegemony, has received the rewards for several generations…but the time is rapidly approaching where a major pivot and shift away from FRNs will impoverish the U.S. and send it reeling into a banana republic “3rd world shithole” that so many commentors on TBP think Trump will save us from…these commenters fail to realize that this is baked into the global cake and has already been agreed upon by those who matter in these affairs, our corporate overlords,
This is why I try to point out all this Trump hoopla rhetoric red team blue team nonsense so many intelligent honest hardworking Americans seem to have bought , hook line and sinker!
The machine is narrator’s – & narration’s, too – best friend. When it “becomes too human” it destroys itself. Death wish & mechanical devices do find each other attractive. Fiat printing – poisoning — connects the rise of the machine to mechanic Bronson’s demise paid forward. But even after all hits & men are dead, the frankenflation gift just keeps on giving. Poetry, indeed.
It’s like “The Big One”: It’s coming and you can’t miss it…

Nah. Legislation made inorganic frankenflation legal. Like unc milt’s idea for legislation made payroll deduction legal. Chicago & its school is trojan horse.
The formula is really simple. Make the working man into a tax/interest/inflation donkey, and the top 0.1% as the beneficiaries. Throw around a lot of “smoke and mirrors” brought to you by the Chicago School, et la voila: “Le American Bear” and the “Happy Merchant.” (Look it up.)
People who live in mirror houses should blow smoke? & the domestic staff should inhale? It was a good death? (The end of Legends of the Fall.) How’s that mer(de) chant go again?

And tariffs are simply higher taxes wrapped in the flag to con the gullible.

Fractional reserve banking, usury at its worst!
Why does it always seem to be that when inflation is talked about, it’s never aimed at real estate?

Cuz continuous nuking don’t need aiming.

One overlooked benefit for the printers is that as long as the Petro Dollar is supreme the inflated dollar acts as a hidden “World Tax”.
Great point Flea,

& the pup fish sez, “what the hell is water?”
Waiting for it?
The signs of it are all around us!
It’s been here! We are living through it!
It really picked up in 2008!
Next leg down on it will be a doozy!
