lulz. Does she also write for The Atlantic, vote for TIME magazine's Man of the Year award or work as an intern for a TBTF bank?

While it may be sign that the economy is starting to pick up some steam (though very slowly), rising prices are still not necessarily a good thing. Most people aren't getting raises these days (some are).

I don't agree a good economy = inflation, but I agree that wages are not rising, which is why inflation is theft.

There is a bright side in stealing and fraud? Interesting.

Yes, for the thieves, fraudsters and their associates.

There is only one reason why the economy is appearing to recover.

The government hasn't been doing anything.

While the damage they've done is obviously detrimental in the long term, the free market always figures out how to operate within the new parameters. When the government does things - no matter how much good they think they're doing - the market reacts negatively until it figures out how to operate.

Inflation isn't helping anything. That was just a theft.
