Thank you for saying govt causes inflation. They do, did and probably will, unless the public wakes up. Freeus

<Inflation isn't an accident, it is a creation of government looking to make the public think they can get something for nothing.> I agree it's not an accident or some monster which sneaks out of a cave, but mostly a direct result of government action. I don't think it's the government making the public think they can get something for nothing, it's the government actually GETTING something for nothing. They simply print some more money which they then spend on lunches, vacations and their pet hobby horses and buddies. They have a money-tree. On the oil prices going up, it doesn't make sense that oil prices going up makes other prices go up too [like plane tickets and steel products] which makes prices go down [due to reduced demand]. That's seems like Irish logic. If something runs short, prices go up, and so do other prices related to that thing [which in the end is everything] so you get reduced demand yes, and a recession, yes, and then prices start to fall as supply/demand rebalances at the lower level allowed by the limited resources. So I suppose after going through that cycle, prices would end up much where they started before the shortages occur [assuming no money printing]. Thanks for the comments. The main point as you say is the government is up to trickery with the money supply and hijacking much of the profit from The New Paradigm. But that's okay by me - I just borrow the money which they then print more of, diluting my debt. Great! Mqurice
