Inflation

 

What is the cause of inflation?

The standard answer is uncontrolled printing of currency. The presses spit out money and the currency increases, while the goods available stay the same. This results in more currency units for the same goods which  decreases their purchasing value. In the current fiat debt money system this is not the whole story.

What is not discussed is how the money is inserted into the system. Who spends it into the system first? What is the cost of this money to the first spender? 

Money, currency, credits in all forms can only increase by being loaned into the system. Let me state this again. The only way the exchange medium, the dollar, can increase is for someone to borrow the money into existence. Most of these loans are debts that need to be paid back, and, there is interest charged for the time loan.  Now here is the real problem. The interest charged is not loaned into the system. This fact is the most important piece of data you never learn about our current financial system..

If and when these loans are paid back to the original spender then the cash in the system decreases accordingly. When the debt is created with the cash they offset each other to keep the books balanced.

There is no net gain of currency that waters its own value down. This is a shocker isn't it. All your life you have been told that inflation is the increase of currency, but it is not. Inflation is the increase of debt over the availability of cash. Debt from the interest charged on the loans. There is no  cash created to offset this increasing interest debt. 

This is a moronic system created to transfer wealth from the borrowers to the lenders.

To understand our system lets take an example. We start a brand new country out with a financial system like Federal Reserve System.  The FED loans $100,000.00 into existence either to the government in exchange for bonds or a member bank as a ledger credit. For our study lets say the loan is done at 10% interest.

In example 1 we will let the borrower just add the accruing interest to the loan. Look what happens to the debt verses the actual cash available to pay the loan and interest.
