Great article on how the hidden tax of inflation sticks it to those that cannot afford it and most do not realize what is happening.

They will blame the greedy corporations and anyone else but the government which caused it all to begin with.

I have tried to explain this to so many people and they just do not want to know. I guess the very idea that the gov itself has been compromised by the banking cabal and their own gov is robbing them, to pay for call the “free” stuff is just too much to comprehend

As Ludwig von Mises said, "Inflation is first and foremost a government problem." It's not the businessman that causes it; it is only the government.

Thanks so much! Real education like this is VERY difficult to come by.

I noticed that comment by Trump, also.

Was it a slip? Or did he reveal his true intent? I think he meant exactly what he said.

And why would anyone voluntarily buy long term bonds if they intend to inflate the debt away? You are simply holding a melting ice cube in your hands!

'America had just won a world war'? Oh please! Nobody else involved then.

Thanks, John. Should I list every country that won? My grandfather fought on the Eastern Front, and somehow I don’t think he’d be offended by the statement that America won the war too.

'Should I list every country' is a silly remark Lau. For the record my father fought and won medals for bravery in the second war. I am certain he would take offence. The allies won the war and America turned up late (again).

America should have never been involved in that war to begin with. Should have never showed up at all
