“Smallish loaf of bread yesterday 4.79.
Swiss cheese 22.95 a pound. Gas 3.69 a gallon regular, 3.89 ethyl at cheapo station.”
In 2008 it had taken 200 years to print $900 billion. That was all the US money in the world. in 2009 they printed $900 billion more. In 2010 another $900 billion. Then, they added $87 billion a month (quantitative easing.) The value of stuff hasn’t gone up, the value of the money has gone down.
Yes. The wanton, reckless “printing” of money out of thin air (and the terrible ways it was distributed or “put into circulation”)
has been, in my humble opinion, a criminal raid on the living standard... and savings if you have it...... of every American citizen.
but it gets certain corrupt politicians re-elected....
