>>Think of inflation, as our friend
It's true. Inflation is the only way to handle some of the unfunded liabilities bequeathed by the scolding generation of greedies. E.g. the unfunded Medicare deficit the greedies expect the young to fund because the greedies preferred to accumulate private wealth.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
