“It isn’t much better than the poster you are responding to “
The poster I was responding to made a claim and did not back it up. I debunked it with real statistics. Do you have any statistics to show that inflation is “rampant”?
“What is the inflation rate historically?”
2003-2013: 26%
1993-2003: 28%
1983-1993: 47%
1973-1983: 126%
1963-1973: 42%
1953-1963: 15%
1943-1953: 55%
1933-1943: 37%
“Might there have been other inflationary pressure during those previous 10 years which was removed?”
Yes, the economic crash so destroyed the economy that we had two years of DEflation, which is far worse (and far more difficult to deal with) than INflation.
