Chairsatan Isn't Worried About Inflation - Should You Be?

CrownThomas's picture




 

If you listened to Ben Bernanke's testimony between last week and this week, you were told repeatedly that he is not worried about inflation.

Here are some charts that his analysts must have missed - Perhaps they're spending their time hanging out with the SEC boys surfing the web, but either way they should probably bring these to Ben's attention sooner rather than later.

 

Not Money's Reaction to Ben Today

 

Not Money's Performance Since Bernanke Began In 2006

EUR/USD Since Bernanke Began In 2006

 Oil's Performance - The Most Stealth Tax of All... "Transitory" of Course

 

 

 

And Finally, M2 -- But Don't Worry, They Have Mechanisms In Place To Pull This Back (wink)

On second thought, I think Ben is right - no inflation is around the corner. Sleep well America.

So naturally I have to ask:

Where's the beef?

Long on cattle rustling.  Long on deer snares.  Long on gill nets.

I suspect that in a few short years, the government will begin to openly use the Orwellian term "unperson" to describe many of us.

Definition of UNPERSON
: an individual who usually for political or ideological reasons is removed completely from recognition or consideration

Just like the "unemployed"

No, unemployed are still persons. "Not In Labor Force" are the unpersons.

Once the EEA passes, many people will find themselves no longer American citizens too.

WTF?      There can't be any inflation, and if there is the definition will be changed so there isn't.... Meanwhile, enjoy a $70 ride in the country in your automobile, and a $300 finger up your ass at the Doctor's Office.
