First things first....

Well I might as well go ahead and start with the big issue first.  And that my friends is hyperinflation.  So what is hyperinflation you say? Well wikipedia describes it as this, "In economics, hyperinflation is inflation that is very high or "out of control", a condition in which prices increase rapidly as a currency loses its value."  In layman's terms it means that when the government prints more and more money out of thin air, our dollar becomes worth less and less.  Therefore your purchasing power is decreased, and the more expensive things seem.  A lot of people consider this to be a hidden tax by our government.  Well our total money supply has been doubled in just the past couple of years, and we are running record deficit's year after year.  Anyone with any financial sense can see that this is unsustainable.  Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve will continue to try to print our way out of this depression, and the President's serious lack of fundamental economics will prove to be a very destructive combination.  We are headed for hyperinflation a lot sooner than most people think, and I feel very sorry for the people who don't get educated about this stuff quickly as we are running out of time.  When it happens it will be instantaneous, and it will only get worse. Fast.  I am definitely not a doom and gloom kind of guy, but I am a realist and I am all about preparation.  I feel almost obligated to share the knowledge I have acquired over the past couple of years.  I guess if I just help a few more people become educated about these very important subjects then I have done my job.  Because I'm telling you right now we should be most aware, and in reality as a society we are clueless.

Well I hope you have enjoyed my first post, and I will do my best to keep them as simple and to the point as possible.  I will only get better over time... I hope :)  I strongly encourage everyone to do their own due diligence, and research on these subjects I will be posting about.  My next post will be a little more on inflation and what you can do to hedge yourself against this upcoming crisis.  Have a great weekend!
