If you think inflation is hurting you, in many of these countries I have been in, a person with a bachelor degree and 10 years experience will get paid around $500-$700 a month. To rent a two bedroom condo, which is considered safe and liveable, can easily be $700+ a month. Middle class is generally both parents working, one car, and eating meat 3 days a week. Dont even get me started on gas prices.
There is a reason Barnum and Bailey's went out of business. US society took its place.  |
Some of us have smooth brains and very short memories. No inflation is ever as bad as the inflation we're experiencing right now. And the person responsible is either the current guy or the last guy, depending on perspectives that have nothing to do with economics.
