BSAM....You claimed you were here to counter my bullshit, yet when asked for an example of that bullshit here you are unable to offer anything except more insults. As I've said from the beginning, you offer absolutely nothing to any thread anywhere, ever. Most ignore your ramblings, as they have no substance and resemble a lunatic in a coat who giggles incessantly. That's why there are so many posts from you that go unanswered on this forum. You've gone after me personally all day, today, bringing my mother into the discussion. You've asked me for honest answers to your personal questions, and I've given them, never asking for the same in kind. You've derailed topics, deflected commentary and snickered when you successfully pulled me off topic, all the while resorting to little jibes about how none of this should be taken seriously at all, because it's P+R. The truth is that you're an insignificant little cretin who hides behind his computer terminal, has an essentially worthless personality online. I doubt this is how you are in person, because if it were, you'd be an outcast from society living in some trailer somewhere. Since you are almost certainly only like this online, it makes you nothing more than a troll, trying to generate responses to drivel - pointing out what you think passes for acceptable psychology, but in truth projects 13 year old with an AOL account all over. When someone rejects you for your sheer inane babble, they are labeled by you for being angry, and you gleefully jump on that opportunity to use your new found acronym AOWM, which you've used now several dozen times in the last 48 hours like it's the next LOL or something. I crap bigger than you. Wasting more time on you would be like trying to give c-kid/cold the center stage in a debate - no good could possibly come of it. Therefore, it is with sadness (really, not joking here) that I put you on ignore. You will undoubtedly giggle and post LOL comments after this post in your attempt at making jest at the whole thing, as if it makes no difference to you. You will hope others see it as you disconnecting from my comments, but the truth is people see it. The proof is here in this thread. You've had a ton of opportunities to act polite, to not be judgmental, to engage me in honest conversation. You've opted out of every single one of them. This is the last text I will waste on trying to speak to you about anything. It's a lost cause. Enjoy your last word, or...if I know you, multiple posts of nothingness written in some pointless stanza format.
Unfortunately, this isn't a partisan issue. Both republicans and democrats are guilty of trying to manipulate the CPI to better tune the budget, make cost of living adjustments lower in SS, and allow the Fed more room to print.
LOL what a stupid prick Here to 'stop the bullshit' by posting like Honey Boo Boo, what is it with you and your complete lack of substance yet huge sense of self importance? ok, let's have it, the next set of vapid short liners
Inflation is a non-issue. <img src="http://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/census/household-incomes-mean-nominal.gif">
Tsing, the bernanke has dictated that ZIRP, and by default QE, will stop if inflation gets to 2.5%. Let's say it gets there, imagine the pressure to fudge it down. You might say QE doesn't matter because the banks just sit on it, but remeber QE is used to buy bonds and that cash gets into the federal budget and so is inflationary. At these levels of deficit and QE, I say we have maximum 2 years left before the end of this economic system. Too alarmist? maybe but the bernanke clearly has mailed it in with this latest desperation of QE-infinity June 2009, my how far we have fallen <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/n6qo2S84r5w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
really, look at the 1970s, then recall that inflation was an issue then your chart says nothing about the threat
