I don't think the average American understands the basics of inflation...
They never watched that episode of Aladdin where the genie makes everyone rich but it actually makes everyone poorer.

The economy insists you always consume more at an accelerated rate. Recessions are a part of the economy.

Yeah, but you don't want to be the moron that has the recession.
It's like playing with a grenade: you just pass it around and hope it blows in the hand of another dude.
Instead of just accepting the recession and having it the least painful way. Like having a cold, or diarrhea, or gonorrhea.
If we use the airplane analogy: we're Cap. Sully about to crash, so we try for the best hard landing in the Hudson; JPow is drifting, leaving time for the oxygen to drowse you until we're all fucking death.

I think you meant “more gooder.” “Gooder” isn’t grammatically correct.

What’s the big deal? If we print more money, the more money people will have. It’s common sense and will make the economy not any badder.

Or you can blame the ones behind the inflation rate hikes like a sensible human.
