Shiver! I am afraid of hyper-inflation. I am afraid even of inflation (which is currently running much higher than the official figures suggest.) For a long time, I have been predicting hyper-inflation, but it does not yet appear, so either I am not much of a pundit, or else it is still pending.
But I do think that inflation has been given this role in the economy, of melting away debt. It is a deliberate strategy, which is not much pointed out.
It's also been melting away the savings of seniors and transferring it to Ubama's crony-criminals.
