 Do you wonder why Congress has not passed a new Trillions of dollar stimulus again for big Businesses and Families? I tell you why! it's already out of control and they know it.Best to wait for the chaos after the election to have symptoms to show to instill the will of/on we the people.

      To hear Federal Reserve officials, politicians and mainstream financial media pundits tell it – there is no inflation. In fact, the consumer price index remains “stubbornly low” according to those who view rising prices as an economic good. But inflation defined correctly is rampant. In fact, it is at all-time record levels.

Strictly speaking, inflation is an increasing money supply, and by that measure, it hs set records for five straight months.

Last month, year-over-year growth in the money supply (as measured by TMS) came in at 37.56%. That was up 36.92% from July’s record rate. In comparison, the August 2019 increase in the money supply was a paltry 1.86%.

As measured by M2, the money supply grew by 23.23% in August, nearly the same rate as July’s record of 23.29%.

Even if the inflationary policies never lead to rampant price inflation, they still have negative effects on the economy longterm. They blow up asset bubbles that eventually pop, taking the broader economy down with them. Despite what the pundits tell us, there is inflation – lots of it. And it will not likely end well for Main Street America.

    I think that everyone knows that there is inflation. Four of five years ago we began to see threads in this forum recounting how 32 ounces bottle of product were reduced to 28 ounces, a 50 count bottle of (say) aspirin being reduced to 40 count, and so on. Businesses are reluctant to raise prices, so they cut product sizes- which has the same affect.

    The problem is The FED buying their own debt when there is no other buyer at 1% interest rate. They keep the rate artificial low to keep their own creation from failing. The banks are going to negative interest rates soon and block chain currency is going to kick in after a interruption of exchange rates ratio between international banks and the dollar will lose it's reserve currency,.
         It could be very soon if the election numbers here in November are not accepted by one party or the other.
