Watch the reaction of the markets

The markets will speak...soon. Will the action of the the government be inflationary?

The answer? Watch what is going to happen to the markets. A decline in the dollar and a rise in commodities (gold and oil included) suggest the markets believe the move is inflationary. It will stabilize the market in the long run, but a bigger and more intrusive government, slower economic growth, and higher than average inflation is the price we will have to pay.

The good news is if instead we will experience a strong dollar and stable commodities. In this case the markets perceive the move as non-inflationary.

Time will tell. Stay tuned.
