Reaper, but they don't print (QE to back fill the failed banks aside), they take out interest bearing loans. they can take out debt and goose the markets for a time, but they can't do it forever just as a person can't keep charging up credit cards to boost their investments. at some point, it blows. going QE again is a flag they may inflate, but QE is just going to banks. somehow, the money has to go to the people in order for any kind of pricing power. yes, a loaf of bread might cost $1000, but who can buy it with 40% unemployment, a gutted economy and falling wages? i'm still leaning toward deflationary depression where the buck goes up in value (this might be hidden via statistical lies, just like the massive inflation leading up to 2007 was almost completely hidden) and the criminal bankers then get to buy up America for pennies on the dollar. who needs home ownership when you can rent from... the bank you bailed out and to whom you pay interest to on the money used to bail them out? the banks own real assets, their power is increased, their wealth is protected and they maximizing their looting as they turn america into a 3rd world country. what's not to like from their perspective? once on our knees, they can fool the numb into turning over our sovereignty completely so they can "save us" from real (collapsing economy they created) and imagined (oooooh, the earth is heating up do to people breathing! - shhhh, temp increases really aren't significant). as for serious inflation, the people would immediately go to the banks to withdraw their cash and buy real stuff. first, that closes the banks - immediate insolvency. now, maybe that is good for the banks that run this country, but i don't see how right now. second, all those freshly looted trillions and 1% of GDP bonuses don't buy as much stuff anymore. instead of 10 cents on the dollar for prime assets, they pay $2.00 on the dollar. i'm looking for two things, though. first, if a world currency is put in place and the banksters get their assets out of the buck and into this world currency - look out below. they could then devalue dollars, increase prices in terms of dollars and retain and maintain or increase their wealth. second, if they start showering debt free dollars on the american people - which i think has almost zero chance of having outside of some serious, serious rebellion. maybe not even then.
