Inflation is built into the system. Money is based on air and has no inherent value. The government prints more dollars and deflates the value of the currency. Politicians crow about how well the economy is doing, when it’s nothing more than inflated numbers giving the illusion of economic growth.
Except for a pittance of virus shutdown relief checks, the government and banks and not releasing the $trillions of dollars of stimulus to consumers but to banks, government agencies, non-profit agencies and pet groups to buy votes. Supposedly, as long as they do not release monies to consumers inflation will be held in check. But hard assets are inflating: housing, food, gasoline, to the point that only a few will be able to afford. Call it back door inflation
When it becomes too great to control, the next step is devaluation of the currency. Don’t kid yourselves, it could happen.
