Too much government spending

James Turk 23 March, 2009

March 23, 2009 – The page-1 article in the last letter was “On the Cusp of Hyperinflation”.  If you doubted that the dollar was headed for hyperinflation after reading the last letter, all doubts should have been dispelled after the Fed’s announcement on Wednesday that it would buy $1.2 trillion of government bonds and agency debt.

To repeat the key point from the last letter, hyperinflation does not arise from banks lending too much money.  It invariably occurs for only one reason – too much government spending.  It results when the central bank turns government debt into currency, which is exactly what the Fed said it is doing.

How bad is it out there that the Fed would take this big gamble to risk hyperinflating the dollar to try saving insolvent banks?  What does Bernanke see that he would expand the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet by another $1.2 trillion?  What is he not telling us?  Obviously, he is not telling the whole truth.

FGMR My objective is to share with you my views on gold, which in recent decades has become one of the world’s most misunderstood asset classes. This low level of knowledge about gold creates a wonderful opportunity and competitive edge to everyone who truly understands gold and money.
