Where is the hyper inflation?

[courters]

Where is it? Can you show me? So far, inflation has been well within the rates of the past 15 years. So where is it?

 

[Chelsea R]

Copper?

 

[Beer for you!]

Hyper inflation winter is coming.

 

[mystical]

Hi, you do not even know what inflation is, but I bet you are more than willing to tell us your views.

directed at RedneckFAS, i love you rotrabroadard.

 

[hazah]

Fuck off, cart king.

 

[~*Cookie*~]

It's nowhere. I don't even know why *any* sort of inflation is seen as bad by many fiscal conservatives. Given the public and private debt overhangs today, deflation would be MUCH worse for the country.

Ben Bernanke is doing a terrific job.

 

[bar_enosh]

What exactly does he do?

 

[Catiee]

the economy will collapse within the next 5 years

 

[John M]

I laughed

 

[Blaze C]

To me it already has collapsed.

 

[xxforeverrxx]

people still accept the faith and credit of the gubment $ (for now)

 

[MandaG]

Perform open market operations to achieve a target inflation rate as per the Taylor rule.

 

[quixoticparadox]

Oh

 

[narutoghurl]

[No message]

 

[Themilkdude23]

I'm kind of surprised you're asking this question. If they do another round of QE then we might start to see inflation

 

[stewies_grl93]

Helluva job Bernie!

 

[Just Dance(:]

DepenRAB what they decide to do:

If they dump the dollar for a new paper currency: it will hyperinflate
If they tie it to a basket of currencies: it will inflate, but not as much
If they tie to some sort of commodity, then it will not inflate, but it will have major disadvantages
If they raise interest rates and reduce money supply expansion, it will stabilize and not hyperinflate


There are many possibilities and they all depend on world trust in the dollar, the FED's control of the money supply, and the ability of the US to back the dollar with its economy and petro-dollar

who are "they?"
