Priced Out

Americans are going to be priced out of consumption. With price inflation Americans simply wont have the money to consume anything including food and housing. That is how the American standard of living is going to drop. With that mfg's will have to drop prices to sell anything, and will cut back on production to better match demand. The economy then begins to stall.

Americans for decades ate tbeir hamburgers on credit..and now have to pay for them..forgoing eating hamburgers anymore because that can not afford tbem anymore. Da end

Baloney instead of burgers. Maybe Americans will need to lower their expectations.

Tabs has been calling for hyper inflation and the collapse of the fiat for his entire adult life.
He is mentally ill.

Inflation...a de facto tax. Sugarbritches probably doesn't understand that.

Btw..n immaculate black on black 56 Cadilliac Elorado Biaritz covert just sold for 725.. owned by a guy who looked like he knew Christ when he was a kid..That was elegant...stylish with out being over the top. Top of the form.
Extrapolate that car with the 59..and you will see the difference in attitude..expectations.

Inflation is payment for past sins..excesses. ya thought you were getting away with something by kicking the can down the road.Live for today put it on the card.


There is no taking it back now..it has gone way past the point of no return..the last opportunity was 2012 and the advent of QE3. I clearly laid it out describing what would happen beyond.
