Have you not read anything anyone has posted in the last week?   Or is your retention problem acting up again?

Do you not realize that most of the US cannot "grow their income" at the drop of a hat?
Do you not undestand that likely(current inflation scenario) is not definitely(your inflation policy suggestion)?

Have you failed to understand that forced suffering, due to policy-influenced inflation, is just not something America needs right now?

Do you not understand why Romney or Obama are NOT taking the stance that you suggest?

Genetics people genetics............leave him alone, he will NEVER understand, he is a liberal. He and all liberals have a problem in their brains that does not allow logic or truth to interfere with their every day thought process. It is from conception and they are not to be blamed, just pitied.

Do you not realize that we still need to set policy to allow people the chance to grow their incomes?

If we just take the attitude that incomes don't rise at the drop of the hat, therefore we can't do anything at all that could ever carry the risk of a little bit of inflation, we're needlessly tying our hands behind our backs and making it harder to get the economy growing again.

If looser monetary isn't what the country needs right now, what do you think it needs?

Is the National Review liberal?  Because they are arguing for the same thing:

If the price of bread goes up but the price of everything else stays the same, bread is more expensive. Your dollar isn't worth less.

Let's say I buy a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a jar of peanut butter every week because that's all I can afford to eat.

If the price of bread goes up tomorrow, will I still be paying the same amount of money for my loaf of bread, gallon of milk, and jar of peanut butter next week?

No, the bread is more expensive.  That in itself isn't necessarily inflation.

I'm a baker and I sold bread in my shop for $3 a loaf last week and every day people lined up around the block to buy my bread and they bought all the bread I had time to make and I ended up turning people away at the end of the day.  So this week I raised the price of my bread to $5 a loaf.  Has the value of the dollar changed?  No.  It hasn't.  The demand for my bread was high enough to cause the value of my bread to go up. Yes, one dollar buys less bread this week, but that has everything to do with the value of my bread and nothing to do with the value of the dollar.

Do you not understand that inflation will happen without government policies?

Do you not realize that everyone has the opportunity to grow their income now?

Are you attempting to move away from the subject of forcing more hardship on the people who can least afford it?

No, I'm asking you if you think the economy is growing at an acceptable rate.  If you do, there is no point to discussing policy that might make it grow faster.

Will check to check people struggle less if I don't think the economy is growing at an acceptable rate?

Was that so hard?

With that in mind, should they be forced to struggle more because an economist(or you) thinks inflation MIGHT spur economic growth?

Should we treat them as "necessary collateral damage" in a war with economic growth?
