Fed Chair Jerome Powell said he expects inflation to be “transitory,” a word reminiscent of America’s situation three years ago when the Fed repeatedly urged the public to underplay inflation as it would improve.

I have been warning that we are approaching World War III as a distraction from the collapse of sovereign debt in Japan and Europe.  The total outstanding government and corporate bonds globally have now exceeded $100 trillion in 2024, as reported by the OECD.
