But over the long term, it can be influenced to control monetary policy. Without this regulation, some banks would try to lend more than the 90% of their demand deposits, further inflating the money supply. The idea behind the arguement to end the Fed, that is that inflation is damaging to the economy, I fully support. I wish the Fed would grow some bigger balls and let the economy recede every one in awhile instead of injecting liquidity every time some idiot investor scrapes his knees.

But an independent central bank is a key part of any modern capitalist government. Saying that the Fed should be wiped out is extreme, and to me, it even smacks of Mercantilism. Besides, if you're that worried about inflation, you are still free to go and buy some gold on the market, if you wish.

The consumer price index, the nation's standard measure of inflation, incresed 0.1% in July, before seasonal adjustment. The index was 2.4% higher than in July of last year (source: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm)
Hyperinflation? I think not. If you want hyperinflation, see Zimbabwe. There's a real crisis state.

don't accuse me of dehumanization. Hitler lead the younger generation to his thought process by his charisma, his promise of German Glory (after worldwide shame following the first world war) and an end to inflation. They followed him because they had no alternative. He had all the cards. His original supporters, yes, they were anti-semetic, after HE blamed jews for losing the first world war. However, the generation that were late teens as wwii began saw this, presented as the only belief; brainwashed.

Snickering bitch. Tax and spend war monger Hillary. 9 trillion in debt, 850 bn trade deficit, 12.25 trillion M3 and rising (inflation), 2 wars. Ron Paul can fix this. This lady wants to continue Iraq and to add 100 bn in spending on a subsidy to the insurance and health care lobbyists - like forced card insurance, now its forced health insurance.

When I see this picture, I only have one thing to say. How? How could a design like this go through so many hands without someone saying "hey wait..." These custom inflatable bouncy rooms cost ALOT of money. Talking tens, if not hundreds of thousands depending on the bells and whistles. How could a company put in so much money and not even inspect the design, let alone USE THEM after seeing that the entryway looks like a vagina and it required 2 people goatseing it open in order for the kiddies to get in?

"All I have said is that you're making ridiculous statements and pointing out their ridiculousness." Oh, you mean like how millions of people have died from genocide and mass starvation in communist countries? Or the fact that their economies collapsed from too much spending and inflation? Oh no, those are not relevant points at all.How about the fact that China is currently enjoying its greatest periods of economic growth after adopting more and more capitalism and free trade? I suppose you would call that a 'ridiculous' point as well.

Freakin' inflation. At this rate, in 50 years 599 US dollars might be a little over 599 pesos. (In the 1950s, a glass bottle of Coca Cola was 5 cents, compared to prices closer to 125 cents now)

The fact that this has so many views, on top of a good rating, is astounding. The Golden Gun was a f*cking pistol, this picture is stupid and the only redeeming quality is the music; even that aspect doesn't warrant a good rating. Take this overly inflated sh*t off of the top viewed.

"I thought life was about being pretty, not about being authentic. Why don't you people love me? Everyone else says I'm pretty!" Yes, you are Paris Hilton, and you are a superficial whore. Nobody loves you, they just rated the stuff you stole highly. Get a personality, bro, quit stealing other people's stuff in order to inflate your ego. If you are content with yourself, then you won't have to whore yourself out to feel good about yourself.

Wrong civiliansam. If the Feds did not bail out banks, the banks would make more careful decisions, rather than be careless with credit, which is what gets them into trouble in the first place. If banks go under, it is their stupid faults. Bailing the banks out increases the money supply, which is the cause of inflation. Any financial publication could tell you this.

Also, when inflation goes up, things become more expensive. This is not even investment banker level knowledge, more like 7th grade level knowledge. Various financial publications have reported the value of the dollar going down and the price of gasoline going up.

to all the people above... our situation surrounding inflation is the best it has ever been. The Fed is doing great keeping the inflation rate at a managable level so that there is less unanticipated inflation and investors can feel safe putting their money into stocks and bank accounts. What we need to worry about now is the budget deficit... the US is going bankrupt.

You are correct about government spending. 100%. But I don't think I can really agree with you about inflation. You ought to take into consideration that there is the officially reported number, and that there is something more important, namely, the relative prices of commodities, imported goods and foreign currencies in relation to the dollar. You should also remember that the government has a vested interest in presenting the inflation rate as favorable, because they are held accountable.

The monster appeared in Manhattan to look for a mate... Just as Hud postulated, the spidery things wanted to "make him their queen." At the end, when the monster was above Hud in Central Park, its 'air sacs' inflated on the side of its head, just as many birds and reptiles do as a mating ritual. Upon its observation that it had Hud's attention, a sign of aquiescence to mating, it 'nipped' him, just as dolphins do. Unfortunately, Hud's body just didn't live up to the monster's expectations.
