Printer is Coming: How the Fed Is Fueling Inflation
The Federal Reserve's Role in Inflation: Why the Printer is Coming
Anyone who has lived long enough to have personally experienced the corrosive effect that inflation has on your purchasing power is well aware of the negative ramifications of this form of legalized thievery. But, many people are unaware of the principal perpetrator. As can be seen on Chris’ new coin, Printer is Coming, that thief-in-the-night is the Federal Reserve, with Jerome Powell as leader of the den of thieves.
The Federal Reserve: Master of Monetary Chaos
2025 "PRINTER IS COMING" Silver Proof Coin, by Chris Duane
The Federal Reserve is the key player in the inflation game. Its monetary policy has an immense effect on the rise and fall of the inflation numbers. Although their stated goal is to control inflation, they have never succeeded in realizing that ambition. In fact, they have failed miserably in those efforts. The buying power of one dollar in 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created, requires $31.69 dollars today. Inflation has increased prices by approximately 696% since the 1970s. A dollar in 1970 is now worth $7.96 today.
“PRINTER IS COMING” Silver Coin from Silver Shield
There are two primary ways in which the Fed unleashes inflation. The private banking entity either sets interest rates too low or, they print too much money. They rarely get it right. They are either too late to the party, too influenced by politics or simply misread the market.
This profound event took place during the Last Supper, while Christ was surrounded by His faithful Twelve Apostles. According to the eyewitness account of St. Matthew, it was during this last meal, and just prior to Jesus’ Crucifixion, that Jesus held bread in His hands and said the words, “Take, eat; this is my body”.
Cheap Loans, Booming Demand, and Soaring Prices
This is what happens… When the Fed lowers the interest rates, bank loans become cheap. So, the economy booms and spending increases. But, supply inevitably outpaces demand which always leads to higher inflation. This happens because people are willing to pay more for the few remaining products on the market that they need in order to keep their businesses, cars, houses or personal lives going. Supply and demand.
The other more insidious approach is when the Federal Reserve floods the market by printing paper money which is no longer pegged to gold. This situation not only leads to inflation but devalues the dollar as well.
Pres. Nixon took the USA off the gold standard in 1971 and the country then began to function under a fiat money system. This means our paper money is no longer backed by physical gold or anything else with intrinsic value. It is simply accepted as legal tender, or currency, just because the United States government says it has value. And, in this, is the inherent risk, as we all know the government is near bankruptcy.
Chris’s Coin and the Game of Thrones Connection
The words sculpted onto Chris’ new coin, Printer is Coming, is a take-off on the title of the successful TV show Game of Thrones Winter is Coming. Powell is clothed in a 15th century Medieval English surcoat and carries a sword. The inference is that he is soon expected to flood the market with cheap money which will lead to high inflation rates. Powell is depicted as the implementer of the Game of Thrones House of Stark’s motto, Winter is Coming.
The maxim serves as a warning that danger and hardship are inevitable even in peacetime. Chris believes that Powell, as chief Printer, will soon become the facilitator, driving force and literally, the manifestation of those fears as he prints billions of dollars of worthless paper money under the guise of doing good. And, just like his predecessors, he will not get it right either.
