Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Inflation?

Perhaps some educated individual could tell me how printing money causes inflation.

More money, same amount of available goods and services to purchase. Thus the average amount of money (price) per unit of goods/services rises.

Supply / demand.

Seriously???

Devaluation of the dollar has been going on for a long time. They badgered GWBush about it and his excuse was that foreign countries could afford to buy our goods. It’s what nations do just before they collapse. Germany after WWI took a wheelbarrow full of money for a loaf of bread.

Just buy gold and you are golden.

For phuqc's sake.

Inflation is too much of money chasing too few goods. Flood the market with free money and presto Inflation. Of course this was covered in high school economics.

When the government puts massive amounts of money in the hands of Americans, then shuts down the economy it creates a supply and demand distortion. Add in near zero interest rates. Most money is created by bank lending.

Where are all of these massive amounts of money where these United States citizens are supposed to be getting?

How much money was printed by the government in gold towns or silver towns when the prices skyrocketed??

If the government printed a warehouse full of money and it doesn't get to the people prices don't go up.

But some people are greedy then the price is go up. It's all greed.

The US Federal Reserve Banknotes were created by the non governmental Jueish owned FEDERAL RESERVE and were loaned to our US Government to pay for the Govt and Military and Welfare and Food Stamps for the Government to give to worthless low life dimocraps in order to pay them to vote for dimocraps and we were saddled with the debt and interest payments on it.

The Jueish Federal Reserve Bank member printed the money and gave it to the money center banks owned by the Jueish Brothers and buds.

To stimulate the economy the Jueish Banks bought stocks on the Jueish owned and controlled stock markets by buying the stocks of companies owned by more jues.

It's lucrative work if you can get it.

The people JESUS CHRIST whipped out of the Holy Temple were money changers (Banksters). Nowadays we call them bankers.

The Jueish company stock owners knew when to buy the stocks and when to sell them - because they all worked together. Its a Cabal.The jues who ran the Federal Reserve knew when to buy and sell stocks as did their buds who owned and controlled the companies and when the markets would move up or down. Rigged.

They made trillions off our debt. And we got more and more in debt.

Just as they took over Germany and got to the point they owned and controlled everything they got that way here.

This pissed Trump off and now they will pay.

So jag wishes he were juish?

I think its more than simply a case of "too many dollars chasing too few goods".

Massive amounts of money creation has been going on since the year 2000 when the Federal Reserve decided it was going intervene in the economy at the first hint of deflation. Remember QE? That created big time inflation in stock prices but the inflation rate remained fairly stable, or maybe I should say gradual in the real world until Covid and the Russia Ukraine fiasco. Was a tipping point finally hit or is there more?

Biden has let in several million illegals, more than the population of several states. That is a huge additional demand for goods and services.

Biden's energy policy/green new deal put upward pressure on energy prices which led to the war in Ukraine because it dropped billions into Putin's lap with which he could fund his war. His mind blowing incompetence running the Afghan withdrawal was the cherry on top telling Putin "its now or never". This put further upward pressure on energy and food prices because Ukraine is a huge producer of fertilizer and food for the world. Energy is an input cost in well, everything, and business will pass it along to the consumer if they can.

You can call it "greed" if you want but the job of a business person or corporation is to get the most money they can for whatever it is they do. I used to have a boss years ago who said that the perfect pricing model is when your customer hears the price he says "holy shiit" but still pays it. I think during the covid shortages business learned that the consumer will say "holy shiit" but will pay more. Right now, that is what the American consumer is doing. You have to eat but you don't have to pay $80,000 for fancy pickups or a grand for a cell phone, but people are doing it. Ditto with other "discretionary purchases".

Most of this is funded by debt and at some point the consumer is going to tap out which should ease prices but wait and see, the govt will step in with rate cuts and "stimulus" because a recession is viewed as a tragedy by politicians who have created a game where whoever happens to be in power when one happens gets blamed for it. But recessions are a natural part of free markets, a self correcting mechanism which puts a damper on inflation, and really is the cure for it. But we don't have a free market, not even close.

How is what the .gov doing not Forgery?

If you have earned $50,000... to go buy a new car (or whatever) you can buy the new car.

BUT... if .GOV GIFTS $100,000 to ten brokedicks.

You will not be able to buy the car any longer... because you do not have enough money.

Your earned money has been devalued.

This is the moment you will become a Slave.

Money is "Stored Labor"... nothing more.

But it does go to the people. It might not go to you but it definitely goes out.

I didn't get a penny directly off the printing presses during the great COVID money printings but many people did. Many more got them written to their businesses, and still more got them as payment for things they sold governments. In the great housing crisis money printings most of it first went to a handful of bankers and auto makers but they sent it along to their creditors and workers and suppliers and all that, all of whom are just groups of people.

Look up fiat money and fractional reserve banking.

The US has been producing money (QE) out of thin air for a long time. Really went crazy in 2008 and not slowed since.

Artificially low interest rates are great for banks selling debt. Not so much for savers, forces them to send money into the wall street casinos or watch their cash holdings dwindle at the real inflation rate.

I pretty much agree with you. The oh [bleep] pricing comes back and bites people though when times get tough.
