Anyone with some statistics and growth curve knowledge or who knows about why steam engines since James Watt have a "governor" (ironically so has the Fed – laugh or cry?) understands that this exponential shape of the curve has left the domain where it could ever by reined in.<br />So I think unless we don't accuse the Fed and the ECB of voluntarily OVERstating their money supply (they are cranks, we know, but not THAT stupid [yet]) we should all agree there is hyperinflation in the money supply (you can see the links and graphs in my articles <a href="http://crisismaven.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/bloom-of-doom-v-we-have-control-of-the-ship-we-have-a-plan/" rel="nofollow">on unsustainable sovereign debt</a> and find all the direct statistical and indicator sources in my <a href="http://crisismaven.wordpress.com/references/" rel="nofollow">Statistical Reference List</a>).<br />So this money IS already "out there" but has not yet led to strong price increases across the board which would be called PRICE ... well inflation I guess as almost everyone uses the word for monetary expansion for price increases as well. But just wait awhile and the "real" inflation will follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
