"It's low inflation - not no inflation...No inflation would mean our economy isn't growing at all - and that's bad."
Have you gone completely MAD??
For one, what does the DECREASE in the valuation of a currency have to do with growth in production?
You have it exactly opposite. TWICE! Growth depresses inflationary pressures.
Christ Almighty, Peg! Join the real world!
Simple arithmetic will clarify this idiotic notion and errant view.
Start with the famous equation of exchange, MV = Pq, where M is the money supply; V is the velocity of money, that is, the speed at which money circulates; P is the price level; and q is the real output of the economy. If the growth rate of the economy increases, that is, if the growth rate of q increases, then, if the growth rates of M and V are held constant, the growth rate of the price level must fall. Since the growth rate of the price level is just another term for the inflation rate, the inflation rate must fall. An increase in the rate of economic growth means more goods for money to “chase,” which puts downward pressure on the inflation rate.
That's simple, straight forward economics!
So frankly, we are on the verge of hyperinflation if the Fed DOES increase money supply via QEs and total economic implosion if it doesn't!
The American economy is BRAIN DEAD AND ON LIFE SUPPORT!
Pull the plug and you are fuked. Leave it in, no matter... When the lights go out, so do you.
I'd call that being between a "ROCK AND A HARD PLACE".
All in all, the question IS, WHEN does it cease to matter?
This game of musical chairs is gonna leave the VAST majority out in the cold.
Only those who converted paper wealth to solid assets will have ANYTHING to show for their efforts.
