via The Phoenix Let me let you in on a little secret… Central Bankers don’t actually WANT inflation. The Fed’s “inflation target of 2%” is a giant ruse. The Fed has no clue how to create or control inflation. They even admitted this in the minutes of the July 2017 FOMC meeting. So if the Fed … Read more
