Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel said inflation could spike to 20% in the next two or three years due to "unprecedented" fiscal and monetary stimulus and an explosion of the US money supply. "I'm predicting here that over the next two, three years, we could easily have 20% inflation with this increase in the money supply," Siegel said in a recent interview with CNBC. (Snip) Siegel noted that the total money supply in the US has gone up almost 30% since the start of the year alone. "That money is not going to disappear. That money is going to find its

In many areas housing prices are already rising at a 20% annualized rate. Everything else is heading in the same direction.

I lived through the 70s, and 2021 makes me feel like I've gone back in time. On the bright side, I learned a lot during those years - live below my means, stay out of debt, and always, always have at least six months of living expenses in a savings account.

Inflation is going to reach 20% by the end of the year, and go up from there. If there was another currency in the world which any more dependable than the dollar, it would stop being the world reserve currency. I expect that sometime in the next four years something will emerge as the no international standard. It may be a return to gold, or it may be one of the cryptocurrencies.

#2 pretty much nails it. Make any big purchases ASAP and hunker down. If you liked Carter you're gonna LOVE Biden. If you don't already have it get a cheap 5 acres of land somewhere to grow food.

Both Democrats and Republicans think they can fund anything now. No constraints anywhere. There is no longer any constraint on what the government should do, who or what should be funded. In the past, the people had to pay for it. Now the Federal Reserve just prints the money, and the people will soon realize they will pay for it. It all starts with personnel. We have the worst personnel. I cannot imagine why the Chinese wanted a list of the personnel we have.

#9 bingo. Both parties do it including Pres Trump. He printed money in he first budget when Repubs owned congress and would not agree limit spending. It was grotesque. Then Pres Trump gave out covid checks and wanted bigger checks from Biteme. Of course, the dems do it worse. And will continue to do it to purposely destroy not just the economy but capitalism itself.

Correction 'inflation could spike to 20% in the next year' or at the present rate of 4% per month that would be 4 x 12 or almost 1% using Joe O'Biden math!

Paying people to not work imposes a double whammy on the economy- inflation and no growth. Stagflation. No surprise. The state lockdowns were a terrible mistake, way out of proportion to the threat by the virus, and this is the outcome. But hey, that free money made for a lot of politician “Santa Clauses”, didn’t it?

The economic woes have their roots not only in massive spending of both parties. They do the spending because of THEIR corruption, greed and lust for power. The federal govt is not some blob or faceless entity. It is led and run by people who have gotten wealthy breaking or bending laws, selling out America to foreigners, and we the people have allowed it to happen for decades and decades. President Trump tried to turn it around. The enemy came out of hiding to face us all and by the grace of God alone did Trump even live through the battle. In the end, the Deep State successfully railroaded a duly elected man out of DC. They installed a puppet government which the Republicans went along with and still do. God Alone can help us now.

LONDON — DarkSide, the hacker group behind the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, received a total of $90 million in bitcoin ransom payments before shutting down last week, according to new research. Colonial Pipeline was hit with a devastating cyberattack earlier this month that forced the company to shut down approximately 5,500 miles of pipeline in the United States, crippling gas delivery systems in Southeastern states. The FBI blamed the attack on DarkSide, a cybercriminal gang believed to be based in Eastern Europe, and Colonial reportedly paid a $5 million ransom to the group. DarkSide operates what’s known as a

High unemployment. Rising prices. Gas lines. They're a bad memory for Americans old enough to remember the 1970s - but they're also likely causing a few sleepless nights in the White House, as the United States' economic recovery from the unprecedented coronavirus recession hits some bumps. The jolts are dampening consumer confidence, ramping up inflation fears, and helping Republicans build their case against President Joe Biden and his ambitious plans to revamp the U.S. economy with trillions in new spending. As the 1970s show, high joblessness and rising prices the United States saw in April can be a potent political force.

Ever since Joe Biden floated his $1.9 trillion COVID-relief bill, worrywarts like yours truly have been warning about the possibility of inflation. In case you weren’t alive in the 1970s, inflation erodes the value of money. Simply put, your paycheck is worth less today than it was last week or last month. This demoralizing and frustrating decline in purchasing power can have the psychological effect of causing consumers to spend money quickly, for fear that prices will rise. There is also increased pressure on welfare and wages to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Once this cycle gets

For decades engineers have used petroleum to make everyday products. It's still commonly used in everything from rubbers and plastics to chemicals and asphalt. But this useful product comes from crude oil, which is often criticized by activists and experts as harmful to the environment, citing oil spills and fracking incidents. Recent studies from the last decade have shown that petroleum isn't as efficient as some once thought. Now, companies, engineers and scientists aim to replace it with plant-based oils, specifically soybeans. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. recently announced its goal to replace all petroleum-based products with soybean oil by 2040.
