Pedo Pisswig loves inflation almost as much as he loves rape.

His disinhibition is total. You can see it on his face, he is a withering pile of dead synapses and cholesterol. The lights are on, but nobody's home.

"Because as soon as this war is over, you know I can say it now ... you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil."

If you're filthy rich, inflation does actually make you richer.

It lets you pay off your debts at a discount equal to the accumulated inflation from the time the debt originated.

The only way inflation wouldn't help a rich person is if they're financially illiterate, which isn't usually how they end up rich in the first place.

Governments tune their ecobimies to deliver a low rate of inflation. Government policy deliberately protects the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

There's no denying the economic reality that low to moderate single digit inflation absolutely produces wealth for the rich while destroying wealth for the poor.

The game is rigged, but it's the only game in town.

And Trump recently posted a Truth Social about how the US trade deficit has widened, as if it was a good thing.

Reverse psychology! The man's a genius!
