Some reading material

en.wikipedia.org

"Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include the following:

1) "Outright lying as to official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves."

We all know that - real inflation is 10% now

2) "Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices. "

M3 is in the link above

3) "Price and wage controls."
Hmm... Are we there yet? -g-

4) "Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or similar."

Hmm.. Shrub really wants to privatize SS and medicare, and
I wondered why. -g-

5) "Adjusting the components of the Consumer Price Index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest."

Oh, that has been happening for a while, and there is
a new proposal now -g-

"None of these actions address the root causes of inflation,
and in fact, if discovered, tend to further undermine trust in
the currency, causing further increases in inflation."

That is just starting to happen. The BK is coming. The dollar
does matter. In the end, it's all that matters in this
situation. Get some gold. -g-
