This is the Word of Yahweh:
Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh. (Jeremiah 12: 14-17)

US monetary policy is driving inflation globally despite what Mr. Bernanke says.
Two days ago, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that inflation in the US is still too low and that US monetary policy isn’t driving commodity prices higher and causing global inflation in food and energy prices. I beg to differ.
The Federal Reserve is using monetary policy to stimulate the economy without causing our inflation rate to spiral out of control. So far, the Fed’s policies haven’t caused inflation in the US to increase dramatically, but that doesn’t mean the Fed has plenty of room to maneuver.
Our monetary policy is putting downward pressure on the value of the dollar. That’s an undeniable fact. We know that speculators buy commodities as a hedge against a falling dollar. That causes commodity prices to rise globally and increases inflation around the world. Foreign governments buy dollars when the value of the dollar falls to protect their currencies. That has the effect of increasing inflation in their countries. We have mountains of corroborating evidence that inflation is causing widespread unrest across the globe – most notably in the Middle East where one government has already fallen (Tunisia) and another one is on the brink of collapse (Egypt). Pretending that US monetary policy hasn’t contributed to this growing problem is unwise and counterproductive.
Inflation is rearing its ugly head in China too. Inflation in China is just under 5% and rising. The Chinese government has taken steps to control inflation, and the effect has been to reduce China’s demand for commodities. That has been the Fed’s saving grace so far because the decrease in demand for commodities in China has offset the increase in demand for commodities from speculators. Will this state of relative equilibrium last? That’s anybody’s guess, but we’re playing with fire here so it pays to be careful.
Developing and underdeveloped countries in particular are experiencing what we consider to be unacceptably high inflation right now, and their governments are grappling with mounting unrest and struggling to survive. If you harbor doubts, read Rising global food prices squeeze the world’s poor. It would be reckless to ignore these developments because we know that unrest abroad increases our risk at home.
This is the bottom line. Inflation is a serious problem even though the rate of inflation in the US is low. World leaders know what drives inflation in their countries, and many of them blame US monetary policy. I think they’re right.
