Democrats Plan Hyperinflation That Will Destroy The U.S. Economy
Taking a page out of their radical, progressivist playbook, the Democrats plan hyperinflation to finance massive spending increases and new entitlements. In fact, many Democrats are embracing the ideas of economist Stephanie Kelton or “Modern Monetary Theory.”
However, even liberal Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman calls Kelton’s ideas a “blueprint for hyperinflation.” In particular, Kelton believes that the government will never go bankrupt because the treasury can print all the money it wants.
So, the government can supposedly spend all the money politicians want. Consequently, Kelton’s theory is now “the biggest idea in Washington,” The Huffington Post claims.
Just How Will The Democrats Plan Hyperinflation?
The Democrats plan hyperinflation by increasing the money supply, The Week’s James Pethokoukis claims. As a result, the Democrats plan to make Kelton’s ideas function as national policy.
Particularly, Democrats will issue an unlimited amount of debt to pay for programs such as basic income, free college tuition, Medicare For All, and a jobs guarantee. Astonishingly, Kelton believes the government can pay for all that without raising taxes through the printing of more and more money.
Conversely, Krugman believes that this practice will cause an inflation rate of 12% a month or 144% a year. This will destroy your money because $1 will be worth 1.44¢ after merely a year of such hyperinflation.
As a consequence, a $62,000 annual salary will be worth $7,740 per year under Modern Monetary Policy. Notwithstanding, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sets the poverty rate for a family of four at $25,750 a year. Because of this, Modern Monetary Policy will impoverish most Americans.
