that's partly because the fed plays all sorts of tricks to hide the real amount of inflation they are causing. regardless of whether that inflation is visible now, it's inevitably coming. it's the only option we have to deal with that 13.3 trillion debt that we can't afford to pay.
- mikebo 16y agoInflation will be an issue at some point in the future, but with high unemployment I don't think it's likely for several years. If you're risk averse, broader market decline is a bigger worry than inflation IMO.
- kargdt 16y agoI heard somewhere that Deflation right now is a fact, inflation a belief. One would've lost a lot of money being short long-dated treasuries this year with that belief. If inflation is the answer to this (most likely the case), would you say that it could be hyperinflation versus the milder demand-driven inflation that America is used to?- Specifically, if the Fed devalues the dollar.
