Here’s another example of how the crooks in charge are hoping to get the average dumb American…you…to accept that a 3% rate of inflation is just fine. What BULLSHIT!

How about NO inflation, Mohamed!

I’m getting really tired of hearing about what a difficult job the Federal Reserve has. They’ve been around since 1913 and have been manipulating the economy ever since. Most of the problems they now have to deal with are of their own making. If anyone deserves a bit of sympathy, it’s the average citizen, who, by the way, needs to wake up!

Spot on Karl. You & I know that the probability is El-Erian is well regarded with the Deep through and through. Rarely does he speak truthfully & honestly and without bias just like his insider buddies on Wall St. If you didnt know anything about this guy, the fact he shows up on CNBC regularly tells you all you need to know. He fits the mold of a wolf in sheep’s clothing
