It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Inflation = political policy enacted to increase the flow and/or stock of currency. Rise of prices is a very typical sympton of inflation. Quantitative Easing policies are going to save USA in the short term, but inevitably cause extremely high levels of inflation if not reduced below the 85 billion per month that the FED is distributing(& stealing). Foreign countries that used to worship USD, prefer not to exchange them for goods & services anymore! Inflation is a TAX on the citizenry. The US government is going BROKE, especially with all of the bailouts & bail ins. Spending 4X what you make DOES NOT HELP. The FED is intentionally bankrupting America to get them into a new reserve currency with all other developed nations. No nation will be represented by this new currency. It will be a one world currency. Holding onto gold & silver is a GOOD idea, especially considering that interest rates remain so low in the USA. Don't get suckered into selling, unless you need to pay off kidnappers(humor)!?!?
