Comment on All bets are off if the Fed and White House are wrong about inflationparent

There is a criminal to catch. There is no free lunch. This isn’t a “grow the pie” idea when it comes to money printing.

Imagine you had:

1/10 of all dollars.

Next year they printed 20% of money supply, so now you own:

1/12 of all dollars.

Your own wealth got siphoned off indirectly without you being cognizant of it. That’s exactly whats happening here. Every year they’ve been siphoning off 2-5% (maybe more) and now they have to ramp up further just to stay ahead of the game.

This isn’t by accident, it’s by design. So yes, there is a criminal here.

Most of the printed $100 USD bills are abroad in someone’s cabinet or mattress being used as a store of value vs their own trash currency. Most of these people still hold faith that the USD is a sound currency, and the FED takes that faith and abuses it by quietly eroding their savings.
