Inflation everywhere?

[CA renter]

[quote=Arraya]So how have these price increases helped to support debt levels. Are they sustainable, meaning can consumers support increasing price levels or is it short lived. Without consumer price support increases it is meaningless and won’t last.

It’s feeling like late 2007 early 2008.[/quote]

There is definitely a “frothy” feel in the air, isn’t there?

Agree. Printing more debt to get us out of our problem of too much debt is a short-term solution that will end up costing us more and causing far more damage than if they had allowed deflation to take hold and fix the problem of too much debt and unrealistically high prices.

[quote=sobmaz]It is not about Wal-Mart or Home Depot raising prices it is about your dollar being worth less.

Gold is not up, the value of your dollar is down so it takes more dollars to buy the same gold.

When you hear the terms Quantitative easing spouted by the FED just remember it is another term for PRINTING MONEY.

Those with savings are being robbed blind, those with massive debts, like the Federal Government are making out like bandits. Banks are doing pretty good too. Money lent to banks at zero percent is lent to the public for 5 to 23 percent. And the looming inflation will help the banks with their realestate, eventually.

If you have wealth, don’t keep it in cash.[/quote]

Yes, yes, and yes; but where should the cash go? Use it to buy an expensive asset with a lot of debt and pay the debt off with inflated dollars? What asset won’t depreciate? Or what is the alternate answer?

1)Some in equities
2)Some in precious metals and energy and commodities
3)Some in cash
4)Some in a low interest loan in a primary home
5)A rental property
6)Some full time job
7)Some sidetime gig.
8)some “Investment” in bling.

Don’t know which way the wind is blowing, but everything cant fail, right?

We’ve been inflating for 60 years and the biggest bubble in history pops and people scream “oh no INFLATION!” lol

The system is inherently inflationary, it is what it wants to do. Just look at the value of the dollar over time.

Now the biggest influence on stopping deflation was, not printing, but convincing people that we were going to inflate. Because the collectives habits are about the strongest force out there.

People stop taking out debt and withdraw money from the market the economy deflates to the size of a pea overnight. Bernake could drop pallets of hundreds in downtown LA and it would not matter a lick if people did not play along.

Now behind the perception we have the reality of a supremely deflationary dynamic. The default mechanics apply “natural” deflationary pressure. Now granted, the system has been short circuited – private mortgage market replaced with government, massive government spending, accounting tricks(which is essentially pretending value is there when it’s not), etc… But still we are in a deflationary cycle – meaning without massive support *systemically* and perception wise a deflationary cycle would ensue. There are few things that could trigger a deflationary collapse , oil spike, new war, national default, etc.. Anything that would panic the herd. And I believe their are enough black swans out there to do it at some point.
