The Fed’s inflation reading is hilariously wrong

by Peter Schiff

In the first two years of the pandemic, the US government debt surged by $7 trillion.

Over the same period, the Federal Reserve created $5 trillion in new money-- with most of that going to buy Treasury bonds.

In other words, the Fed ‘printed’ over 70% of the money that the US government borrowed in the first two years of the pandemic. And that $5 trillion of new money created 9% inflation.

So just imagine how much inflation the Fed will create if they print 70% of the $20 trillion that the US government will need over the next decade...

No one knows for sure. But it’s probably going to be a lot more than their magical 2% target.
