the powers that be are doing an excellent job of confusing people as to WHY we’re seeing the biggest inflation in decades. now obviously this is hugely complex issue with many contributing factors, but it’s also important to try to isolate what’s arguably the “biggest” reasons the economic landscape has so suddenly changed. link to the run away inflation we’ve been seeing since June 2020 perhaps not surprisingly, this is more or less in line with all the stimulus money that started with the CARES Act during covid. what i’m worried about is the “forgotten story” of the 500 billion tax dollars we gave to the wealthy corporations… it’s the second largest bubble listed here.. link so they took 500 Billion of OUR tax dollars.. allocated it to wealthy corporations.. and IMMEDIATELY sold that along with 200 Billion in mortgage backed securities to The Fed for 850…
