The Fed must electronically "print" ever more US Dollars to fund the Annual (and ever-growing) Federal Deficit (AFD) and to pay the Annual Interest (AI) on the National Debt (NDOld & NDNew). Or, as a math formula, NDN = (AFD + (NDO + AI)) Were there, on some rare political day, to ever be an Annual Federal Surplus (AFS), when the Fed Guv spends less than it takes in, then the formula would change to: NDN = ((NDO - AFS) + AI) 2017 Gold Vs Inflation: http://tinyurl.com/jtzasla Inflationary Expectations in 2017 Keep the Polish on Gold: "As I see it, the Carrier deal is indicative of the sort of trade protectionism that could spur inflation to levels unseen in more than 30 years.
