Senator warns of hyperinflation rivaling the 1980s


Senator warns of hyperinflation rivaling the 1980s
"The economy could spiral into hyperinflation not seen since the early 1980s if the Federal Reserve does not tighten its monetary policy soon, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) warned Tuesday.
Grassley, speaking about the renomination of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to a second term as head of the Fed, asserted that Bernanke's ability to hold down inflation would be the metric by which the Fed's success would be measured."

That's what happened last time the Fed loosened the money supply.
Bummer for us, dudes....
