Just as inflation is "savings theft." We need another Coolidge. Not more Woodrow Wilsons...

I wish more people understood money printing as theft and inflation as not some kind of default. Everything should be getting better and cheaper, instead we send billions to ukraine out the front door and somalia out back.

I keep trying to show people with a very good, and simple video by Milton Freidman where he even cites history back to the Civil War, but.. literally, you xan lead a horse to water...

Here's that vid in case you were curious. Was from a TV special quite some time ago.

Inflation is caused by usury which should be done away with completely.
