    the republicans stopped hiding job losses. They finally have their new inside man running the fed, so they are now looking to drive down interest rates, for many reasons, and they will ignore inflation now instead of ignoring job losses. This will drive down the value of the dollars everyone holds in their wallets and retirement accounts. Its what leaders and plutocrats of 3rd world countries do to loot economies and keep the peasants desperate. If anyone hasnt guessed already, they hate the poor-- especially when social welfare programs are in the budget, and their perception of the poor is that they are brown people. Soon social security payments will not having the buying power to feed the elderly at all, and they will have finally won their game.
