True conservatives know their history. During the 20s the government inflated the currency by something like 2/3s...the bubble had to pop.

Then when it did, the socialists came up with the myth of “excess production” (nevermind that there were plenty of poor and hungry people, until everyone is a trillionaire how can you possibly claim overproduction?), and decided the solution was to throw money around left and right, while torching crops and slaughtering cows and chickens to INCREASE prices.

That’s how you turn a recession into a depression and then into a Great Depression. We haven’t even hit the triggers for a recession, but the socialists/community organizers want to freeze all mortgages, and if they can extend debt “forgiveness” to school & auto loans. Boy I wish I had a 500k mortgage I could never afford, and a fat monthly payment on a new Viper instead of a used car I bought for cash.

Inflation is theft from anyone who saves; a giant tax on anyone who doesn’t live indebted to the max. If we let them, they’ll expand this bailout to give trillions to anyone living above his means, paid for by every one of us who buy what we can afford, pay our bills each month, and have any savings whatsoever.
