Is inflation inevitable in the U.S.?

Past November the dollar index will fall then rise suddenly before credit and debt is wiped out and new bartering systems wil emerge for survival purposes by June 2010 this next year.

Oil prices rise because inflation is occurring. Oil prices do not cause inflation. Inflation is only caused by expanding the money supply. Also, home prices rising had nothing to do with globalization. Inflation is inevitable because the government is spending more money than it gets through taxes, not because of oil prices.

actually, oil prices dipped below 70$ and yes, considering bernanke printed an additional 1 trillion dollars, its going to leak out eventually. Only thing is, its not in the consumer market, its shuffled between the fed and banks to keep interest rates at absolute zero and there is a SHORT RUN tradeoff between inflation and unemployment, but it never lasts

inflation is certainly to happen in any economy because the central bank uses expansionary monetary policy; however, how much it will rise? it depends how agressive policymakers are; the objective to combat high unemployment in recession is expansionary both fiscal and monetary policies to spur economic growth and reducing unemployment; however, the pace of recovery depends on spenders, which interferes with the policies; sometimes it's not govt. to be blame although they r part of it; i hope that big emerging economies (china, india, brazil, russia, indonesia, etc) could share US burden; every country has part to play

I think it is inevitable to have inflation in the US. As the current US Monetary Policy is inappropriate to reform the meltdown US economy. According to Milton Friedman, the inflation is the monetary phenomena. Since Uncle Sam has printed about 80 trillions US totally to sustain the wars, it is doubtful if US treasury can afford the cost of 10 billion US per day for the Iraq war. What's more? America and Hong Kong is currently experiencing the twin evil of stagflation, higher unemployment and inflation. The speculation of oil prices to meet the greed of the Wall St. financial personnel and the oil mega investor (Dick Cheney and his wife). What other root cause of the continous inflation in US, particularly in Hong Kong and a few African countries? The real estae transaction.

Try to collect back those printed US dollars bit by bit. 2) Destroy the global stock markets directly and indirectly, but wisely. Simply speaking, if Dow Jones Index will decline to below 4,000 points and the Hong Kong Heng Seng Index will be declined to below 8,000, it is likely to ease the inflation in the US and in HK. 3) Hong Kong real estate tycoons want to make the already overepriced properties 5 to ten times as it really worth to a higher price bracket. Hong Kong government is the behind curtain supporter to sustain the highest paid officials and civil servants in this world. Obama should learn how to control the real estate prices to become reasonable and affordable to all Anericans. 4) It is better to send more US troops back home than keep on battling in the war zone.
