How come nobody is talking about inflation after this proposed bailout?

[endthewar]

The way I see it, Congress will just print a ton of money to cover this in the short term. That will lead to high inflation. Sure, money might start to flow more easily after this, but inflation will be out of the roof. So in effect, this sounds like a regressive tax on the poor and the middle class. Yet few people seem to focus on the effect this will have on the strength of the US dollar.

1. How come nobody is talking about the fate of our children in the new world?

3. Guilt

The enormous guilt and fear for the consequenses of worshipping greed is too much to handle for most people, so is someone tries to talk about multigenerational views, holistic view of nature and need for humans ti live in balance and participating in natural processes instead of trying to control them for short term material gains, the usual reaction is shooting the messenger.

2. Because they don't want you to think about that, they just want you scared shitless so they

can get what they want.

4. I've been screaming about the dollar.

They have to steal a bunch of them, because after this is over, they are not going to be worth shit.

7. The worth is not in Dollars

but in assetts. The more businesses you own, the more wealth remains for you. If you own only cash, you'll go belly up. Cash just won't be worth anything anymore, see Zimbabwe. The Weimar Republic. Yugoslavia.

Within two years the dollar will be substituted for the Amero. 'To save the Economy'. Yeah right. Move to Europe, while you still can. I can take in two people, you're welcome.

5. Because we're too busy trying to decide if we want to be buried or cremated

The fact that we are dead hasn't quite occurred to us yet.

6. No because they aren't giving the bank trusts (these are global monopolistic trusts) money.

They're giving them T-bills -- ownership of the Federal Government --

in return for an equity stake in a bunch of overpriced mortgages in order to ALLOW said banks
to continue to foreclose on American citizens.

Remember, "mass mortgage default" here means the banks are forced to FORGIVE the mortgages or go broke.

Why would the banks threaten to call in said T-bills for cash, when the gov't has already relieved
them of their purely paper liabilities?

Better to hold that new power over the Federal Government, placing the Fed (a private institution)
in charge of the government in the same way the IMF used to have entire countries in recievership.

8. i'd be more worried about deflation with this crisis.

there has been a serious contraction of credit.
