Some people are going to accuse me of being a sleeper or a clown or whatever (because they are idiots and bluepilled and can't face reality as it is, but as they wish it were), but take, for instance, the Fed's new corporate debt buying program. That money is ultimately coming from you, the taxpayer. For 107 years, the Fed's charter - the legal document which states what it can and can't do - has been interpreted in a way that would make this new program illegal. It is illegal. And yet the Fed is doing it anyway because Trump has told them to, and let's face it - who is going to stop them? So now what happens is this: every major corporation in America is going to rush to issue new debt, because the new debt is so cheap. This will allow them to initiate massive buyback programs and prop up the stock market even more. Because if you can just issue debt and start a buyback, investors will "flock in" - or so the logic goes. So Apple's stock gets to rocket to 450 dollars a share, and billionaires get richer - meanwhile, the price of a loaf of bread starts to creep up each week, and where you used to pay 2 dollars a loaf, now you're paying 5 dollars a loaf for wonderbread.
