Inflation, especially at the time horizons the article is looking at, is a monetary phenomenon. Younger people entering prime spending years has nothing to do with the systematic inflation rate.

Its the old people with power that have done this. X and GZ have no clue. But it looks like they may get one across the forehead.

“Too many dollars chasing too few goods” = inflation.

Blame dumblecrat spending in the trillions..not some millenial schmuck’s video game purchase.

A large number of youngsters won’t/ can’t buy a house; won’t/ don’t own cars. Those are 2 biggies in a person’s financial life.

Exactly, setting this up as a conflict between generations.

Couple this with recent article recommending the mass suicide of senior citizens and you can see where this is all going.

Beat me to it. Never ceases to trouble me how fundamentally ignorant people in the media are about this basic fact of economics. Expansion of money supply above and beyond increases in productivity is inflation. Everything else is just consequences.

It wasn't the millennials who dragged us into for profit wars that the MIC had no intention of winning, or the deficits that resulted.

Nor were they the ones who sent our manufacturing, technology, money, and tax paying jobs to the communists in China.

All have something to do with the inflation we have now.

If anyone should apologize, it's the older generations for the country we left them with.

Moving Manufacturing back to the USA will cost money. But, it will produce good permanent jobs.
