The increase in the money supply (monetary inflation) marked with red facilitated the greatest robbery in human history.

But the reduction of the money supply (monetary deflation) marked with yellow may be just as brutal in its redistribution of economic wealth.

Which phase of this rugpulling excercise that will be worst remains to be seen.

The combination of these movements are perhaps the most interesting:

The inflation phase enables the rich and speculators to become rich, while the deflation phase pulls the rug from many who are in these groups and transfers their wealth further on to the super rich.

It's like stirring the milk and then scooping up the cream.

In the famous words of Max Keiser; «you can’t taper a ponzi»

Max Keyser is right about a lot, not about this one. His argument rests on several assumptions, including that it's politically unrealistic. And this argument is the same as giving them green light for continuing. Furthermore, the situation varies from country to country. It's less complex for a country with little private and public debt.
