After a war, there is always a BIG inflation to pay for the war. After we invaded Afghanistan, i bought gold. i managed to buy at the 2-year peak but i've earned 40% on that investment after spending time down 25%. When there are huge social programs (As the Bush Slash and Burn Tax policy a HUGE SOCIAL PROGRAM FOR THE RICH), then we often get over-extended and create a bigtime inflation. Both these events are exactly what happened in 1970 : The Vietnam war and Johnson's war on poverty both created huge bills and lit an inflationary fire that would last for 30 years. Why is that "This time its different" ?? I really want to know, i read Gary Shilling's DEFLATION book in 1998 and believed just about every word in that book. But now i'm starting to have my doubts : deflation, inflation, stagflation, or just muddle through ??
