We are seeing that price inflation already in economic goods with inelastic demand curves -- particularly in food and energy.
"Printing" money does not create wealth; and that is true no matter how many "voodoo economists" try to claim otherwise. In the coming years, we will be paying the price for the "easy money" policies in previous decades.
We've feasted, now the waiter has brought the check. Someone is going to have to pay the bill.
