Government disagrees here. Only lazy workers can't afford the inflation.

Really the two used methods to correct inflation just disproportionately impact the lower class, it's unfortunate.

Most of us in career maturity that have been relatively successful have had our earnings adjusted for inflation annually, typically can carry higher interest rates or tax burdens because of our larger disposable income pool and can readily afford goods still even if theres a significant increase in price which quells demand a bit.

Poor people and middle-class always getting the shaft.

There has always been inflation and deflation with occasional complete collapses.

This is not to say that inflation hasn't been embraced by the US especially and seen as the only way to progress, thus introducing false inflation simply out of the dogmatic belief it is inherently good. Nevermind that it is unsustainable, they promise they'll figure out infinity before we hit infinity.

trump increased the national debt by 33% and sent stimulus checks to everyone with his name on the checks.

not arguing that both sides increase the national debt but cmon man lol...

Look up the price of tulips in the 17th century.
