The threat of inflation By John Schroy, on March 31st, 2009 |  3 comments  The supremacy of the US dollar is not yet dead, but portents of a fatal cancer — inflation — are there for all to see. The extreme, profligate spending of the Obama administration, combined with populist, irresponsible bank lending policies promoted by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, portend rising interest rates, the collapse of the bond market, and the end of dollar supremacy. Furthermore, a large part of the American electorate doesn’t understand or is unaware of what lies ahead.

However, the Pelosi-Reid Congress, by unprecedented domestic spending, has raised a real possibility of future high-level inflation. It will be up to US voters whether government finances return to a reasonable basis. The Federal Reserve cannot neutralize the negative impact an out-of-control Congress.

However, Obama’s popularity is falling rapidly. The voters may rise up in 2010 and put a stop to his destructive policies. However, the effects of the extreme deficit spending of the Pelosi-Reid Congress will continue. This suggests that the threat will be inflation, not deflation. How prepared are Americans for high inflation? This article outlines what to expect.
