Money printing causes inflation.
Inflation is the highest form of taxation of the value producing citizen.

It's a scam and spits directly in the face of a free market

The market will win....... someday

Our economy is growing at about 2% our current inflatio rate is in the mid to upper 3% and our national debt is going up at 6%. Unfortunately in our current political culture we don't like to solve math problems that involve money.

Look at the big picture we are failing rapidly. Baby mama/daddies are having 10 kids living on welfare and responsible working folks are having 2-3 kids. We are being out-reproduced at a rapid pace. Nearly 50% of the population is on government teat along with nonessential government "jobs". Now politicians are openly campaigning for socialism. Capture the billionaires money for socialism and they will stop producing.

I remember they fixed this in the 90's

An economy that requires constant stimulas spemding is broke.

And we are falling falling falling..

Yikes, that’s double my mortgage on a home and 20 acres, more than double when you consider exchange.

Location, location, location.

they've been saying this every year for at LEAST 42 years.

I suppose "SOMEDAY" is the key word...

$2800 IS high, but here that would be 4000 easy....or more...it's insane

The slow bleed of your purchasing power and crowded out investments is “everyday”

Not “someday”

not arguing there haven't been impacts. Inflation is very, very real.

but the economy hasn't collapsed...yet!

maybe it will "someday"...

Remember the housing market in 2008? It was fine right until it wasnt

It hasn't hit he baby boomers or my generation as hard yet

I don't mind being called chicken little.

I just keep trapping beavers and let the rest of you worry for me.

When one does financial planning for ourselves or families we look at how we want or need debt to do what we would like to do. There is such a thing as "good" debt versus "bad" debt. Those who figure that out can manage with debts. Those who don't have issues. I don't know how much of our 40 trillion would be considered "bad debt" A lot of our debt monies goes back into the economy. How much of that is for non asset creating versus consumer spending my contribute to the severity of increased debt and debt costs. Another thought is that those investing in our national debt are looking for "safe" places to store monies. Those types of investments do little to grow our economy.

Wages were much lower in 1982.

So were prices

That's a good, solid strategy right there.
