“So if prices aren’t rising, why the inflation worries? Some claim that the Federal Reserve is printing lots of money, which must be inflationary, while others claim that budget deficits will eventually force the U.S. government to inflate away its debt.

The first story is just wrong. The second could be right, but isn’t.”

Ah, the power of the fake-Nobel argument. The mallet did not hit yet, so why worry?

Was it Socrates who explained the absurd of being afraid of death since it never coexists with you?
While you exist there is no death. Once the death arrives there is no you.

For everything else, there is mastercard.

the way i read this, it sounds like he’s saying, the govt is trying like hell to get inlation going, it’s just not working. I respond, so, uh, paul, maybe they’ll eventually get the hang of it. Paul says, sure we’re printing scads of cash, but thebanks are sitting on it. So, uh, paul, if the govt is telling us they want inflation, what makes ya think they’re gonna stop printing printing printing until the banks get the hang of it. I’d say his argument is disingenuous at best, downright misleading at worst.
