Why don't you both go have a nice milkshake and play nice.
Wow, I'm latte to this bacon-ed threaded, thought it ran out of steam 100s of posts ago.
You can't print money as fast as you can without inflation coming back to roost. Despite how much power the Fed thinks it has with regards to inflation, they will have to raise rates at some point.
The question is "When", but noone can answer that as far as I can tell..........
When is important.
When driving, knowing you have to turn right at "some point" isn't much help in navigating an existing left hand turn. We keep hearing people worry about the next turn in the road, one that isn't even visible yet, but we "know" is out there. Meanwhile they completely forget about the turn we're in and completely ignore the consequences of turning too soon. Oh, and their track record reading the map has been pretty awful . . . they've been warning about the dreaded right hand turn now for 2+ years.
Sure we can listen to them and turn right, right now. We'll end up in a ditch, but at least we won't miss that next turn.
You are quite the optimist with regards with the ability of the US economy to be able to absorb a growing deficit
limit discussion of politics to the “FIRE Related Political Topics” forum unless the issue is specifically pertinent to the topic at hand. For example, discussions on health insurance in the "Health and Early Retirement" forum may include political elements provided the political discussion is, in the judgment of the moderators, both directly related and subordinate to the health insurance topic.
Once again, a reminder that political discussion on FIRE-related subjects is narrowly permitted outside the FIRE-related politics board as follows:
and once again, a reminder that our boards offer the handy-dandy ignore button that will help our members combat the stress of responding ad nauseum to the same posters with whom it is quite obvious to the rest of us they will never agree, thus leading to a happier calmer life.

In an effort to de-hijack... So if you were in the market, where would you buy gold coins, e.g. Maple Leaf or Eagle? The vig can be steep.
Think we bought ours from Monex back when. Almost as much fun to get gold coins in the mail as it is firearms.
Where do you think the term "going postal" came from?Firearms? It's legal to send firearms in the mail?!
As a curio and relic firearms license holder, yes, I've received old clankers that go bang. And it is very fun.Firearms? It's legal to send firearms in the mail?!
