re: #207 NO SMOCKING GUN!

A lot of the Democrats agenda though is redirecting money from insurance companies and the fossil fuel industry. And the world economy has a growing workforce producing lots of stuff to buy. I seriously believe inflationary fears are overblown.

There have been times when inflation has gone out of countrol and has wrecked economies. And printing money has been one of things that has made it worse because it’s a self-defeating problem, because the very fact of printing money just to have money makes the price of the money go down (think of the suitcases of German Marks during the great depression). It is a very real possibility, especially when printing money isn’t tied to something like productivity.
