Anyone want to talk about inflation?

Changes in my food bill, rent bill, health bill and most expensive dating a woman bill.

 

You need cheaper women. Works for me.

 

25-30 years ago I bought a snickers for .50 cents at the gas station....now they are 1.89. they say 2-3% hahah snickers will be 5$ here real soon....deflation is not the enemy of the United States...period. debters love inflation..

 

Precisely. Intentional inflation is meant to get people to spend and prevent/penalize saving.

 

...and a Snickers bar is now half the size.

 

Shrinkflation is as much debasement of the states currency as is inflation, just more hidden - it's more on the level of frogs in a slowly boiling pot.

 

All major CB’s will be printing so there is little risk of inflation until asset prices start shooting higher

 

Fed: Increases supply, wagers the economy rising...

Dollar: I'm bout to end this man's whole career!!!

On a serious note, once the Fed expands its balance sheet to over $10 Trillion, the dollar goes Bye Bye, and we say hello to another Bretton Wood agreement. It is quite surprising to be honest, how average people like you and me can run the Fed better than the Fed itself. I wonder if they're doing this on purpose because its very obvious what they are doing and what they are trying to achieve.

 

Why is $10 Trillion the point when this happens?

 

From a risk assessment point of view, once the fed expands it's balance sheet, the dollar isn't neccessarily devalued in a way, rather the existential supply of money is scourged all over the place (infinite supply) thus the dollar's value goes down when inflation is taken into account.
