Stated another way, the Fed is committed to devaluing the dollar, whatever it takes.


Markets in their forward looking wisdom, have been figuring this out for months. That's one ominous head and shoulders pattern setting up in the dollar index.

Meanwhile, gold and silver are marking all time highs...

By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.
