Printing Dollars: Commodities and Inflation

Even if the economic crisis hadn't hit and the U.S. government printed an outrageous amount of dollars, prices of commodities would have still went up, but add that to the eventual demand from the emerging middle classes in China and the rest of the BRIC countries, and you can see the commodity bull market will pick up where it left off, and even go further out than it would have without the temporary setback from the economy.

Jim Rogers talking recently said historically, whenever governments print money commodities will always rise in price, and that will be the consequences of an out of control Federal Reserve, probably far more than it would have been based on supply and demand for raw materials on their own.

The U.S. dollar will get crushed by these circumstances, and ultimately, could end up collapsing under the weight of trillions of new pieces of paper printed because the Federal Reserve refused to let the free market clean itself out, and had to interfere in attempts to garner favor and reinforce its image as a rescuer in the minds of the American people.

While that backfired and brought them out into the open for the first time since their unfortunate creation in 1913, we'll have to pay for the actions of the FED for a long time, as will our children and grandchildren.
