The Fed Undermines Foreign Policy

The Austrian economists define inflation as an increase in the money supply. It is followed by higher prices. The reason is that when you have more of something (created dollars), each unit is worth less. Therefore it takes more dollars to buy the same thing.   Gary

Read what Ron Paul reports here and know why prices are going through the roof, especially on the things that you have to have:

The sole purpose of government is to protect your liberty. The Constitution is not to restrict the people, but to restrict government.  Ron Paul

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

Half the truth is like half a brick, you can throw it twice as far.

Subject is far more complicated than covered in the article.  Why are interest rates zero right now?  DE-flation....

I might agree that selective deflation is the reason for low interest rates, but it is hardly because of general deflation.  My best theory is that it is a conspiracy so that I'm only able to make 2% on my IRA's.
