With all this money being created - why is there not more inflation? | |

Never in history have we had push button cyber dollars. They think that by keeping wages and supply low, they can keep inflation at bay. A terrible experiment about to go horribly wrong. |

They are not lending it out because the fundamentals for most who want the loans suck. There is inflation out there in terms of energy and food. Don't believe the gov't CPI that they try to sell everyone on. |

You'll notice inflation in other countries before in America. Other countries will stop using dollars, so then it won't be worth as much. AFTER you see the inlfation of the American dollar in other countries, then you'll see it here in the USA |

Two, no velocity. What we have is 'pseudo-inflation' where cheap credits and absurd margin requirements (brokerage account with $250K can borrow 10X that) so people borrow for cheap and buy up commodities futures and other speculative vehicles which drives up costs for basic products like oil, cotton, sugar, etc. It's driven by manipulation rather than good ole' supply and demand. |
