2nd – yes, they will do this; the money bomb will eventually create much inflation (and higher interest rates) as surely as the cart follows the ox.

3rd – irrelevant BS

4th – partially achievable

5th – unlikely; it’s already started

6th – who’s going to help the stronger so they can help the weaker?

Bottom line: we are not going to be able to fill the prescription: hard times ahead as far as the eye can see.

The good news is adversity builds character and we sure as hell need more of that.
