They can print endlessly. But when the banks crash things will change. I've heard BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are pulling off the dollar. That's when the dollar will collapse and hyperinflation will kick in. It will cost you a wheelbarrow of dollars to afford a loaf of bread. This is said to happen in October of this year. Keep your ears open and be prepared. I have no idea what will happen to SS, Medicare, Medicaid... any government funded program. I cannot imagine this will be good for the illegals either.
