Potential for Fed to hyperinflate
The International Forecaster ^ | 11/28/09 | Bob Chapman

Posted on 11/29/2009 2:45:48 AM PST by Daisyjane69

The following information may be the most important we have ever published. One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending. Loans have to be 75% collateralized, 50% of which has to be in cash, which is a compensating balance.

This is something to watch. Question...Has anyone come across any propossed policy changes that would restrict COLA on SS if we hyperinflate?

I hope someone more expert than I comes in later and weighs in on this, actually.

Because if I am understanding him correctly, it sure sounds to me like the purpose of devaluing the currency later on, is to reduce the gov’t debt by 2/3. In other words, if you currently receive $ 1,000 from SSA, you’ll be expected to live on $ 333 of the “new currency.” The COLA is prolly the least of anyone’s worries!

I’m watching this also. My parents are both retired: One on SS and the other on a gov’temployee pension. This would also, btw, affect any other gov’t checks: unemployment comp, welfare, foodstamps, etc. (Again, if I’m understanding this correctly. I’m hoping someone rolls by and tells me I’ve got this all wrong.) Otherwise, it’s gonna get ugly......and fast.

I’d ignore a guy like Chapman, except he’s got some history behind him. He’s semi retired, after having spent 50 years in the international financial markets.

One of the few good things that would come of such a grim scenario is that we’d finally get our wish around here:

Drill, mine, and refine.

(and that would be ‘President Palin’ to YOU, Mr. Obama)

LOL

The “new” fiat money. Big bucks coming huh? I wonder if prices will be adjusted to account for the new big buck and my loan contracts adjusted accordingly? Sorry, lost my head there for a minute.

It normally takes about 18 months between the time extra money is printed until the inflation hits. As it gets worse the time lag decreases until it can change day to day like Zimbabwe. I’ve been expecting hyperinflation since Zero lied his way into office.
