Then I am missing your point. Here is your original posting with my comments inline.

>> You mean Yellen and J-Money are in cahoots to inflate away the debt?

Yes. They don't have a choice for the reasons I explained in my previous post. Not everyone seems to have wised up to this.


>> This policy is already wrecking havoc on other countries.

QE is positive for emerging economies. What damage are you seeing?


>> The reserve currency is a good thing to have, but it does real harm when you weaponize it.

It's not being weaponized. It is just on its way down as part of a reserve currency's later life stage.

On your thread, I once described the best end game for the dollar. I don't think it will happen that way because brave and wise leaders are very rare. And it's human nature to not want to accept the inevitable and take a loss early.

BTW, having the funds rate bellow the inflation rate is highly stimulative and inflationary. It is just less inflationary than than it being bellow the inflation *and* having QE.

Like I said, the USD is on plane with the engines on fire and the pilot is doing his best to to attempt a controlled landing rather than a risk a crash. Chances of a take off are almost nill.

I think the seeds are planted for inflation though. All that money from QE and stimulus is out there floating around. If velocity ever even comes close to getting back to normal, inflation could skyrocket. There has been a lot of money created.
