    Default Conspiracy Theory that Inflation is Spiking out of control

    Reading the below reports spread over a year clearly shows that all the claims of out of control inflation is a CT.

    Inflation is up because the pandemic disrupted the world's economy.

    To think think that we can have super low interest rates for the better part of two decades and not have some price pressures is stupid.

    Get your act together.









        • Many financial professionals aren’t overly concerned that inflation will spiral out of control, especially since the economy has plenty of post-pandemic ground to make up. The administration of President Joe Biden is pinning its hopes on the idea that we’ve moved into an era of easy money without consequences.

    The economy, on many fronts, has taken a dive in the past year.

    It refutes that it has 'spiked,' yes.

    And, no, a four to seven percent hike after almost two decades of little or no interest, with the economic fluctuations caused by the pandemic, is no horror film.

    So sit down, you all do some slow, deep breathing exercises, and let's see where we are in a year from now.

    Don't try your word games with me. The inflation is here, has been most of the year, and it's not showing any sign of slowing down.

    Sorry, can't blame just the pandemic. YOUR administration is f-d up and being run by clueless idiots. NOTHING Biden and/or Dems are proposing is going to help anything in the least.

    As with anything it starts with your definition of inflation. Price increases due to demand? Not the traditional definition IMO. Too much money chasing too few goods? A better definition that Milton Friedman would buy in to IMO. The former is short term, the latter is long term. I think it will take some time to know for sure and has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory.

    Telling the facts is no 'word games', Gunny. They are the truth. "My" administration stuck with the financial errors of Trump's years. And don't be nonsensical. The smaller infrastructure bill is very much needed. The large one of AOC etc is utterly stupid, and I am not so sure about Manchin's 1.5T but I do believe that will pass. And I am not taken in by your "words" at all. We will have to see.

    She ( OP) is either even more blind than previously imagined and / or does not or cannot read any financial or economic commentaries and reports .

    Inflation is no longer a topic .

    Hyper inflation or and /or stagflation ( ignore those terms , Jane -- far too difficult ) are the only topics on the menu and have been for some time .

    For God's sake , Jane , at least take a primer course on a subject before babbling your mindless crap .

    If it is all too much for you , think through the idea of prices movement when there are not enough people to do the jobs and where distribution channels have collapsed .

    Only fools like juiceless think hyper inflation is a topic.

    The topic is supported by my links and juiceless is topic less.

    Nothing new.

    Inflation is getting out of control. Biden HAS screwed up our economy in record time. The numbers in many, many areas easily reflect this.

    You are like so many Trumpers: what you believe are facts.

    Sonny, it is not so.
    Again clueless as to who you're responding to, just trolling and removed from thread.
