#5 It's been said that the feds co-opted the Federal Reserve since World War One when it forced the Fed to buy gov't debt. It's also been said that, despite the trillions of dollars being printed, the reason we don't have inflation is because of the lack of velocity of money. People are simply mot spending and why lowering interest rates to near 0% does not stimulate the economy. Just ask Japan & Europe.

#6 Would this be another reason to raise minimum wage to $15? When the inflation hits , they still just as poor as before.
