How China Can Control Inflation

Here in Singapore, they’ve allowed their currency rise to mitigate inflation. I expect the Chinese will eventually have to do the same thing.

You’re better off cutting growth in advance, than allowing inflation to get out of control. If growth drops to 3%, who cares? That’s better than letting inflation get out of control, because once it does, it’s very tough to rein in.

Then you have to incur a recession or worse to control inflation. - in www.minyanville.com

The US Federal Debt Is Unpayable

Around 1918, the UK went into decline. By the mid 1970’s, it was bankrupt. Starting in 1979, it experienced a bounce-back rally of sorts – thanks to their oil fields in the North Sea. Most people give Maggie Thatcher credit for their comeback, but the real white knight for the UK was the North Sea oil discovery,” he said.

You give me the largest oil field in the world, and I’ll show you a good time too. But the US would need four or five North Sea oil fields to save the current situation...because the Federal debt is unpayable. - www.minyanville.com

In 25 Years There`s No Oil At Any Price
