Hyperinflationary Patterns: Inflation Runs Wild
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche warns: “The world is presently gripped by a hyperinflationary wave-front of a Riemannian type. The situation is already comparable, at its primary-commodities ‘spear point,’ to Germany during the second half of 1923, with the other categories, such as consumer prices generally, on the way to being driven to overtake the effects seen currently in the domain of primary commodities being led, as a pack, by wild-eyed petroleum-price speculation.”

Congress Must Tackle Hyperinflationary Blowout
by Jeffrey Steinberg
Sometime very soon, Congress is going to be called upon to deal with the worst global financial and monetary shock collapse in modern times. Under the best of circumstances, such action will occur after the removal of Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush from office. If the financial meltdown occurs prior to that, the burden on the members of the Senate and House will be all that much greater.
