Empire of Ilusion

We now live in two Americas. One—now the minority—functions in a print-based, literate world that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other—the majority—is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. To this majority—which crosses social class lines, though the poor are overwhelmingly affected—presidential debate and political rhetoric is pitched at a sixth-grade reading level. In this “other America,” serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins of society.

Essentially, we have no inflation in the USA, less than 2%, unless you happen to be one of those people who eat food, or drive in cars

NOTE: While the commonly accepted explanation for hyperinflation is government printing too much money, the real explanation is a concerted attack on a country's currency by foreign speculators and/or foreign governments...gee, wouldn't that be the same as speculation in commodities by the TBTF group???
