Faber: We Will Have Higher Inflation Then in the 70`s

"There is no other way for the US but to inflate. It's not a desirable policy, and it has in the end disastrous social consequences. But given that we have a money-printer at the Fed and an Administration that wants to expand the role of government as a percentage, the result will be, unfortunately, inflation.

My view is that, eventually, we will see a much higher inflation rate than in the '70s. In the short term, because of the collapsing asset market and increased savings rate in the US, we will see deflationary pressures. But in the long run, we'll have a much higher inflation rate. That will be negative for US bonds and equities."
