Anyone Afraid Of Inflation?

[bacha29]

As a follow up. The Producer Price Index (PPI) actually fell 0.1% in December and for the year ended up at a better than expected 2.5%. The PPI which is the wholesale price index is generally considered a forecast of future CPI numbers.

Keep in mind the Federal Reserve, you know, the people who actually run this country uses the PCE index. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index when it comes to setting the rate of inflation they use to set interest rates. Of course the Fed only sets short term rates. The bond market sets long term rates but are affected the what the Fed does with short term rates.

And BTW, the CPI number yesterday? More than half the increase came not from food but rather.....shelter.
No question the shortage of affordable housing is at a crisis level and has been that way for many years . Out in rural America however single family houses in decent condition are dirt cheap In many cases selling for half what they would bring in the city. But, nobody wants to live out there.

Correct because there is no employment.

Harry Dent is a financial newsletter WRITER with limited knowledge when it comes to economic theory and how markets work. He makes his living selling books and his economic forecasts have been repeatedly proven incorrect. That however was never the goal. The goal is to fill his wallet with his readers cash while enjoying the good life living in San Juan .

The products that are being sent to foreign countries is being produced here in the US. Jobs in military equipment, food, clothing, medical and energy help to support families and communities in America. The government, directly or indirectly is the largest employer by far. Companies trip over themselves in efforts to secure government contracts.

How much rent can you "afford"?
$3,000/mo income= $1,000
$5,000/mo income = $1,667
$7,000/mo income =$2,333
$10,000/mo income = $3,333
$12,000/mo income = $4,000

Do these numbers surprise you?

Someone computationally anticipated inflation to take it out of human hands. Few

“Bitcoin’s mining rewards will be cut in half in April in what’s known as the Bitcoin Halving. To fight inflation, Bitcoin’s programmers baked the reduction into the token’s structure roughly every four years. The last time Bitcoin’s mining reward halved was in May 2020.”

Look at what Dems are doing right now, twisting what Trump said about finding waste in entitlement spending. Instant Medi-Scare!

We are doomed.

I’m hearing mathematically its too late to stop spending. We cannot pay it off. Both parties spend. They have an agreement to keep it between themselves and rotate. Alert!!!! Ukraine got another $300 million.
