95' when life was good!!!

Clever. You have a real answer?
inflation isn't that stuff cost more it that the dollar is worth less
so the more money the government prints the less the dollar is worth ....its great when you own something ,sucks when your buying
the real dollar value is when you compare to gold when gold is 3k an ounce the dollar isn't looking good
so if you can devalue the dollar then the dollar you owe is worth less ,its a tricky game that only a few win at
think of it. if you have a mortgage for 100k (think what the government owes) for 10 years at 5% you pay back $$$$$ now if you figure in inflation and its at 10% you are making 5% 0n your 100k every year (that thing that bought is worth more too) not sure if i explained that well .....when the government prints money and spends alot the value goes down so they print more so the dept is worth less ,so the dept goes up ,so they print and borrow more......
so if you really want to know about inflation look at interest rates its how the rich get richer and the poor stay poor
