We should all start preparing for inflation, immediately.  Buy stored food, I have a link on the right side bar, and store some water.  Any big purchases are necessary in the next year, you should consider now.  Anything made with petroleum especially, which is just about everything…

Dollar printing feeding China inflation: minister

Rampant issuance of dollars by the United States is saddling China with “imported inflation”, Chinese commerce minister Chen Deming was quoted as saying by state media on Wednesday.

“Given the current situation, companies have thought ahead and prepared for exchange rate fluctuations as well as an increase in labour costs,” Chen said, according to the state-run China Business News.

“But because the issuance of dollars is out of control, and international commodities prices are continuing to rise, China is confronted with imported inflation, which has created major uncertainties for businesses,” he said.

The comments came ahead of a meeting of the US Federal Reserve next week at which the central bank is expected to announce additional stimulus measures.

Government to report on $1 trillion-plus deficit

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is set to report Friday that the federal budget deficit exceeded $1 trillion for the second straight year, providing critics of government spending with fresh ammunition ahead of the midterm congressional elections.

Oh boy, here we go, doing exactly what China warned against, see my previous posts listed below:

Geithner Steps up China Yuan Policy Criticism

Chinese think tank warns US it will emerge as loser in trade war

This was one of the triggers I discussed in that post.  If China retaliated by selling off (dumping) our treasury debt, then we would see the Federal Reserve need to jump in a purchase our debt by printing money to do it.  Another trillion dollars of inflationary printing, with China alone, not counting others that pile on to the sell off.  It would crash our currency over a short period of time.

This could set us up for the coming single world currency and vulnerable/open to the single world government scenarios as we search for stability.  As I have stated above, we don’t know what will trigger it, but it will be interesting to see what is the final straw…

US Congress committee approves China sanctions bill

A US Congress committee has approved a bill that would place retaliatory trade sanctions on China.

It means the House of Representatives – the lower chamber of Congress – will vote on the bill next week.

The bill would allow the US to impose import duties on countries who have fundamentally undervalued currencies.

To become law, the bill would also need support in the Senate, which is less certain ahead of mid-term Congressional elections due in November.

The US accuses China of holding down the value of its currency, the yuan, in order to give its exports an unfair price advantage.
