That's the million dollar question right now. Do we want 5 more years of 3% inflation or a recession?

I think it's stagflation for many years to come. Nothing is allowed to fail now.

It's like you're totally unaware of how economic growth is calculated.

It's like you're totally unaware of how the CPI is manipulated.

So it goes...

That's always been the relationship to purchasing power vs inflation though. That's not different today vs before.

They lie about the actual inflation numbers

Maybe just maybe inflation is a function of capital markets

Or maybe it's an out of control central bank and federal government.

What caused inflation before 1913 when the FED was created? Or did it exist?

But money supply!
