Ya'll do realize that this is a measure of created money, not earned, right?

Then obviously the solution should be to print more money and give that cash to the poor. Michael Moore would approve. Then everyone can finally be rich and happy and hope and change and... puppies and... ...

That's the only reason we still have poor people - because the rich are EVIL.

That isn't what I meant at all. I literally meant that when they print money it is given to banks and in loans to the 'credit worthy' particularly those 'very credit worthy' which is to say rich. The opportunities abound at the top end, and all those at the bottom, and savers, get is inflation.

It is the system that is evil.

Why ? An increase in the monetary base doesn't necessarily imply a subsequent increase in the rate of inflation.

Here's a chart of M2:

I thought we were talking about m3

as reconstructed from shadow figures.

and I think you mean price increase (which is absolutely occurring.) Many here define inflation specifically as an increase in the money supply.
