Monetary inflation cannot stop at this point due to the debt that has to be repaid and is being added to daily. But prices going up or down (price inflation/deflation) are dependent upon consumer demand - what the market will bear. Its very hard to force people to buy what they don't want or cannot afford. This is the issue. If there is less activity in the economy there is less taxation through the velocity of money. In order to pay for everything that the government is doing and while transactional velocity is decreasing then taxes have to go up to pay the debt. It's to the point we have a catch-22 - how do you pay for continuing government spending with lower tax revenues.
The government isn't going to stop spending, because the politicians are not voting for the benefit of the people or the country. So we are not getting off the ride until it reaches its natural conclusion.
If the US loses reserve currency status, all bets are off.
should of stayed in the lane it had before it’s half hearted attempt to enter into groceries. Non-competitive pricing with limited selection, honestly believe they cater to a specific niche customer that will soon be jumping ship and saving a few dollars by stopping at the Walmart.
