DEFLATION: Comin-in strong

[biglentil]

The west is spending/printing like drunken sailors that is inflation, the expansion of money supply. 'Economists' indoctrinated by Keynsian school never seem to get that. High interest rates soak up some of that wet ink, but that debt is never paid off it only further enriches the private interests that control the printing presses. The quickest way to bankrupt the middle class is to print wildly and waste those newly printed dollars/debt on foreign causes, while cranking up interest rates.

Empty shipping containers now stacking-up in U.S. and European ports. Ocean freight rates have collapsed. What a change a few months can make . . . .

Less ocean traffic, so less goods hitting the shelves right before Christmas that wont help an already red hot cpi. Ignoring the supply side the other fatal assumption made by the Keynsian school of thought.

Retailers well stocked, lots of discounts to move excess inventory. Consumers tapped out.

40% of all USD in circulation was printed in the last 12months. We are in the eye of the inflation hurricane.

FAO food index now turns negative . . . from chickpeas to salmon to palm oil. How will main stream media’s inflationary spin handle this reality?

Errol, have you taken note of all the govt spending that was announced in the past couple weeks. Until that stops, inflation will continue.

In continued for an entire decade in the 70s, why would you think it comes down in just 9 months. Unless a severe recession is triggered, its not happening. Inflation is becoming endemic now.

Canadian rate of inflation is steady as she goes. Interest rates are going higher, I suspect. Almost time to lock in investments. The savers are getting ready to lock-in.
