RE:"It *REALLY* pissed me off when AG said he wanted 'slow steady inflation'. Inflation, in any amount, IMO, causes damage. Low inflation causes little damage. big inflation causes big damage."

This is correct in theory but in reality a little inflation has a positive effect on the economy. It's primarily psycological as people like to think they are getting ahead when they can sell their house for a profit etc.
Big inflation causes big damage, this is why I'm totally shocked at those who blame AG for fighting inflation. As a matter of fact, I think he's behind the inflation curve if anything and his rate hikes are not pre-emptive...they are playing catch up.
If there wasn't an oversupply of gold the POG would be cruising to $500/oz right now.
