Stagflation Watch is up

Fuck me. I'm old enough to have lived through the stagflationary era of 1973-1983, and those were terrible times. To read the "watch" and get a good explanation of how and why stagflation happens, let me recommend this Associated Press article from today:

I take some comfort from the fact that, at least this time, we're not going to be doing it after several consecutive generations of childhood exposure to tetraethyl lead. At least this time our crime rates, around the developed world, are mostly going the right direction. That'll make it some better, right?

In contrast to gold which thrives during periods of recession and stagflation, silver, needs a global economic expansion in order to flourish, as it is more frequently employed in industrial production.
