Indeed you do seem to refer on quick perusal to opinion that inflation is due to printing/computer entries, which I assume to mean that you mean inflation is strictly a monetary phenomenon, a point with which I heartily agree, my opinion of inflation being that IF we had responsible lawmakers/government spenders we could manage with a fiat currency IF the govt limited growth of money supply to growth in real goods and services, REAL numbers, not hedonic crap that Greenspan fostered over 18 1/2 years. The ONLY reason one would consider a commodity based currency with all its problems is that it would enforce a discipline on these demopublican bozos who spend on national budgets...yes I believe are not as far apart as I judged. And for that matter, Ha, as if anyone even asked me, IF we had spent the billions we have in Iraq on Fischer-Tropsch plants on GTL/CTL technology similar to krauts in WWII ( I can say that because I am 1/4 German) and we could be independent of Mideast oil...no such luck. I reiterate surprise that Martin Weiss who seems right about lots of stuff actually stated that inflation is due to high oil prices. I suggest he go back to reading about inflation form the Austrian School sources.
