How to end inflation.

[Woodznutz]

Stop buying stuff until prices come down.

You're welcome.

 

[Mr Natural]

That’s one way.

Raising taxes is another.

 

[Moonglow]

I have...

 

[Moonglow]

That’s one way.

Raise taxes is another.

They are through increased tariffs.

 

[BackAgain]

That’s one way.

Raising taxes is another.

But, the best way is to stop “printing” money (in paper or electronic form) and stop spending billions upon billions (and trillions) of dollars we don’t have.

Turn off the air pump.

I think we all know that’s never going to happen.

 

[BackAgain]

I think we all know that’s never going to happen.

It seems unlikely. But to the extent that the people (citizens/voters) accept it or tolerate it, the less likely it is to ever happen. It’s a bitch of a problem. But if the people don’t even see it as the problem it is, then it will continue. And, if that’s the case, then the whole question about how to “end inflation” is pointless.

 

[Woodznutz]

Americans need to take the economy out of the hands of the politicians and the economists.

Then stagflation occurs followed by another Great Depression if not worse.

According to no reliable economic theory.

 

[Moonglow]

According to no reliable economic theory.

Only previous models and actual actions.

 

[Moonglow]

We are in this mess because people loved the rich and wealthy while they took a monopolized control of the means of production and distribution and sold us down the river to allow manufactured products from the lowest labor cost in countries around the world. Then the govt. is bought by the wealthy elite...Time to overthrow, kill them all, and start again. Or as they said in the 1990s, "Kill them all and let God sort them out".

 

[BackAgain]

Only previous models and actual actions.

Nope. According only to you. There is no reason to believe that inflation would continue if we stopped printing money. In fact, it is clear that it would begin to reverse itself quite quickly.

Comrade: your rhetoric is stale and no rational people buy it anymore.

Inflation will stop and it will turn into a stagflation due to a loss of economic activity.

No one is believing your BS about cutting inflation because no one is doing it.

 

[BackAgain]

Inflation will stop and it will turn into a stagflation due to a loss of economic activity.

Your stupid and baseless assumption is thereby exposed. Your fevered imagination tells you that if the gubmint doesn’t print more and more “money” and if it stops spending money utilizing massive borrowing, then economic activity stops.

Of course, your suppressed premise is a self-refuting bit of nonsense.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

stop spending billions upon billions (and trillions) of dollars we don’t have.

Have you ever voted for anyone that did that?

 

[BackAgain]

No one is believing your BS about cutting inflation because no one is doing it.

Your dull old mind is exposed again as being dull. I haven’t expressed any BS about cutting inflation. And we already know that the US government isn’t attempting to stop the money printing presses.
