Quote:No I think companies should compensate their workers and compensate them well. But I don't want the government coming in and forcing them to do it either, bad companies will lose good employees to companies that pay better.

 

The solution is competition not government intrusion. 

 

 

Come on man, we're going to go around and around. Of course I know what QE is, and it's the main reason you're having inflation today. Quantitative Easing is a dangerous strategy and almost EVERY major economist agree's it's only kicking the can down the road. 

 

QE doesn't cause inflation because it's not money in the actual market. It's bank money spent buying securities before maturity meant to make it cheaper for banks to lend money, in the hopes it would increase liquidity in the market. However, lent money isn't wealth and doesn't cause inflation.

 

Inflation is currently pretty mild by historical standards. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...lation.svg
