Greeny cannot define inflation, since he measures it with the incredibly useless and narrow CPI he chooses to ignore rising energy, metals, fibers, grains, beans in prices his idea of inflation is what imports and liquidated products cost in price
open window to non-banks so debts can rise even more hyperbolically? consumer debts are twice what they were in 1990 what would that solve?
monetize the govt debt is exactly what is coming that will accelerate the USDollar decline that is a last stage desperation act, I fully anticipate
as I said, he has no more weapons as they reflate, we expand debts, accelerate job exodus, increase production costs, increase cost of household living with no remedy to trade gap or federal deficit
as they restrict, we raise corp debt costs, kill real estate, kill bonds with no remedy to trade gap or federal deficit
even his faulty measure of inflation, the CPI, will soon register some hefty jumps from rising import prices
the USDollar is going to hell in a hand basket since Oct2003, the dangerous Phase #2 has been in force all world currencies are gaining ground versus the USDollar
THERE IS NO EXAMPLE IN MODERN HISTORY FOR AN ECONOMY TO GROW WHILE ITS CURRENCY IS IN DECLINE, NONE unfortunately for the US$, all mechanisms are either dismantled or intervened which will stem the dollar decline each step down ushers in the next, with technical rallies scattered in a nice pattern
