So, then, what's the difference between inflation, and "nasty inflation", and hyperinflation?  Strikes me as a lot of hair/splitting/back pedaling.

People on fixed incomes (like people with money in a mattress) do run the risk of having their buying power diminish due to inflation. Isn't zero inflation basically an unrealistic economic goal, however?

Most people understand that periodic increases in earnings are necessary to maintain a certain standard of living. That's why there's a push on for raising minimum wage, for example.

well there's difference between inflation and hyperinflation and because schiff was spot on about the housing bubble doesn't mean he's gonna nail this one too

I agree, you should tweak your list.

libertarians/Austrian Economics proponents have been warning for months/years that we are in for hyperinflation.

Like the broken clock which tells the right time twice every day, I suppose if you keep repeating it, you're bound to be right sooner or later . . .

due to a massively expanding money supply (government endorsed counterfeiting) we'll end with some nasty inflation.

nice job MS, you nailed it!!

i've been told it's my turn to post some starter poop for the next virtual cage match

i should probably tweak this list as well

A few calls I'd like to make....

Government(s) will demand broad sweeping powers and enable their corporatist partners.

The evil central bankers/IMF will push for a one (single) world currency, which they'll issue/control.

And encourage a cashless society.

We might see some short term deflation, but due to a massively expanding money supply (government endorsed counterfeiting) we'll end with some nasty inflation.

Government will tax and censor the internet.

You'll have to get a government license too access the web too.

Expect more war(s), especially for resources, wealth in the ground, of course they'll be in the name of protection/terrorism.

Basic goods and services will get much more expensive. (water will be a biggie, food and energy are going to be up there too)

People will revolt, protest and push back, and they'll be labeled. (Travel & movements will be monitored and restricted - Police State)

Your government will direct your law enforcement and military to squash any uprising.

I'll be labeled a cynic by those who haven't studied history.

If you're reading this, the Buffalo Bills will never win a Super Bowl (in your lifetime.)

And finally, when people are sick up and fed with entropy and desolation, the human race will rise from the ashes and hopefully understand that peace and prosperity through non-aggression is the only way to truly live.

(this is a fairly quick and spontaneous list and I'm sure I've left out a few items, so feel free to add and discuss)

Bokey is to be said "bokey, bokey, bokey.
k?

We had a single number. And not the powerball.

The stuff of nightmares right there. I get the "buy one just to have fun" but it always turns into this.

There will be a single winner from tonight's Powerball,but it will go unclaimed.I'll have forgotten that I Derped out and bought a few tickets,but will find the barely readable,scrunged up winner in some pocket in next Springs put away laundry,3 days too late to claim it.

..you are...

There is revolution in the air. Just nobody talkin' about it.
