the fed wants inflation keep in mind though these last going into 13 years now of 1 percent growth and three percent inflation while pumping record printing debt/money supply will not be the standard. the standard will still be little to no growth with larger inflation. the peasants will get a lower standard of living . Even the wealthy will be losing if they kept FRN's , paper money will continue to lose value while physical assets or crypto may fare better .

Inflation is how they keep consolidating their wealth and debt power over us.
What happened in Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe can't happen here.
Right up until it can.

Anyone else want to know where all that "new money" goes? Here is a hint. The WORSE our economy gets, the HIGHER Wall Streets profit margins go and stock values go up. All that means is the VALUE of the dollars in your pocket is transferred from those who do not have the legal ability to print money to those who do and those who receive the "new money".
When new money is created, it can be spent at the old value, but spending it at the old value causes the value of the rest of the money to go down. One apple, one dollar. Print up a new bill (counterfeit it) and you can buy an apple for a dollar. Trouble is the NEXT person that buys an apple sees that the price has gone up to two dollars for one apple. They think that the farmer is greedy and blame the farmer, not the counterfeiter. They think the Price went up, but are typically unable to recognize that the VALUE of THEIR MONEY went DOWN.

Yup. New money pretty much goes directly to the bankers. They call it "Open Market Operations", this is where the Federal Reserve buys securities/assets at "fair market value" but in reality that means, "purchases securities/assets at a price that the market wasn't willing to pay".
Plus of course the interest on excess reserves, which is literally, new money that goes directly to the bankers.
The only reason the economy hasn't crashed into hyperinflation, is because the bankers know better than to try to withdraw their excess reserves. It's better to earn 0.5% on 1 trillion for perpetuity, than to try to withdraw 1 trillion and just crash the economy.

I watch all of these that you post. It is kind of remarkable that the whole basis for his argument of whether there will be inflation is unemployment. I am not an economist but pretty sure that was disproven in the 70s. There is no tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
Under Obama unemployment dropped and no inflation so you had headlines like this https://www.economist.com/schools-br...lift-inflation
The only factor that matters is money supply growth in the hands of the public. You had standard to slightly slow M2 growth between 2009-2020. You had the largest growth in M2 since the data first started getting collected in 2020.
When people have money in their hands they will spend it and bid up prices. Simple as that. The savings rate is 13%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ates-by-month/. History has shown that won't last.
So , if savings rate is 13 , then 87 percent of the increased money supply in the hands of peasants will be spent even as it is increased by trillions .

Thats going to be a big increase in the so called money velocity. Home prices increased 13 percent in 2020 ( hows that for some inflation ?) . Deficit went 1 trillion in 2019 to 3.1 trillion in 2020 and we are there now ( probably 2.4 to 3.4) with the last two trillion and considering the three trillion bill they are planning now we could have a 6 1/2 trillion deficit and another 20 percent increase in homes ( lumber has doubled in the past year ) . There are only 1 million existing homes for sale , which all sell in 21 days and there is usually 1 1/3 million. So there is competition for those . Ten million less people in the work force than pre plague all living fat on unemployment bonuses .

All this full employment stuff is nonsense too . Look at work force participation , its always too low .We live in a country where just 6 in 10 work , of those only 2 in ten pay more tax than they receive . It is not sustainable. Full employment means nothing if they are just trying to get back to the 3 percent they are off from 2019.
