I don’t pay much attention to charts, generally.

And, this one seems to be based on “inflation”, which I assume is based on the CPI - which is constantly manipulated, and is increasingly unrelated to true inflation.

Check out John William’s website linked below. He tracks actual inflation and other government statistics, noting how they keep fiddling with the formulas to get these to keep “control” over the message they want to sell.

Do you know the amount of the “unfunded liabilities” presently being carried off the books? Does the money printing bother you? Has any fiat currency ever lasted much longer than about 40 years, in history?

How well did money printing work out for the Germans, back in the 30s?

I am retired, living on SSI, and feel quite despondent about the economic mess created by the central bankers and the Fed. I can’t see how we are going to get out of it. I hope we do, somehow.
