Will Fed policies continue on the path of inflation?

Texas Straight Talk, by Congressman Ron Paul in

”Federal Reserve Steals From the Poor and Gives to the Rich

Last Thursday the Senate Banking Committee held hearings on Janet Yellen’s nomination as Federal Reserve Board Chairman.  As expected, Ms. Yellen indicated that she would continue the Fed’s ‘quantitative easing’ (QE) polices, despite QE’s failure to improve the economy.  Coincidentally, two days before the Yellen hearings, Andrew Huszar, an ex-Fed official, publicly apologized to the American people for his role in QE.  Mr. Huszar called QE ‘the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time.’

As recently as five years ago, it would have been unheard of for a Wall Street insider and former Fed official to speak so bluntly about how the Fed acts as a reverse Robin Hood.  But a quick glance at the latest unemployment numbers shows that QE is not benefiting the average American.  It is increasingly obvious that the Fed’s post-2008 policies of bailouts, money printing, and bond buying benefited the big banks and the politically-connected investment firms.  QE is such a blatant example of crony capitalism that it makes Solyndra look like a shining example of a pure free market!

It would be a mistake to think that QE is the first time the Fed’s policies have benefited the well-to-do at the expense of the average American.  The Fed’s polices have always benefited crony capitalists and big spending politicians at the expense of the average American.

By manipulating the money supply and the interest rate, Federal Reserve polices create inflation and thereby erode the value of the currency.  Since the Federal Reserve opened its doors one hundred years ago, the dollar has lost over 95 percent of its purchasing power — that’s right, today you need $23.70 to buy what one dollar bought in 1913!

As pointed out by the economists of the Austrian School, the creation of new money does not impact everyone equally.  The well-connected benefit from inflation, as they receive the newly-created money first, before general price increases have spread through the economy.  It is obvious, then, that middle- and working-class Americans are hardest hit by the rising level of prices.”
