40% of US dollars in existence were printed in the last 12 months

Where’d you get that number?

^^ THIS ^^

Yes I do. Why?

Because the game of collectivism is alive and well, and they won't ever toss out a system that works incredibly well for them. Have they run out of worldly items to possess? I think not.

This inflation talk has been going on for decades and much longer, last was 2008. M1 and M2 through the roof, and yet, yes prices still go up, but your loaf of bread is STILL not $20. Why is this?

It's because the FED is the brake and accelerator pedal on the economy. They introduce, and hinder money as they wish. Recently, they've gone balls to the wall to introduce and promote inflation. They could hinder it through interest rate increases sure, but what else removes money from the system? They cause MASSIVE inflation, and then cause large deflation, ending with a final result of increasing inflation. Hyperinflation is bad. Deflation is bad. Heavy deflation is very bad. Moderate inflation is actually good.

There are a few ways to remove money (fiat) from the system:

1. Missiles that go boom do a good job of that. But, there are no wars at the moment.

2. Stock markets do a great job of this. Trillions upon trillions enter into the market, as there is no where else to invest. Since the stock market is a zero sum game, for one side to win, the other side must lose. When the time comes, and it will, expect those with money and power to be on the opposite side of the trade - like inside traders waiting for the moment. WHEN, they crater this market, expect all that 401k and investment money to be siphoned out and placed into black holes, never to be circulated again among the populous.

Collectivism. That's why the game continues on. They control the mechanisms of HOW money enters, and how money (fiat) exits the system.

Weimer Germany and it's ilk were only testing grounds for hyperinflation effects. Deflationary effects have been tested as well. They've fine tuned this system over time, and now we have this. A well oiled machine to extract money, resources, and assets from everyone and any entity across the world.

Once you know the game, you can profit by front running the moves. Learn the game.

TLDR. ORANGE MAN BAD!

keyboard dollars since the 980 Billion dollar TARP Bailout in 2008

I can understand. A common issue with todays society.

What is mentioned above is many years of monetary history wrapped up in only a few paragraphs. The answer hidden in plan sight. Even when given the answers, people still don't give a fuck.
