Do you Know How Important inflation is? Let's test it. If you had to borrow $1,000 from a friend and they agreed not to charge interest, but inflation is 3% annually, are you actually paying them back the full value of what you borrowed after one year? Who will have profit and lose? Understanding inflation in simple language 👇 My Advice a Answer. No, you are not paying back the full value of what you borrowed. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money. If inflation is 3% annually, the $1,000 you borrowed today will only have the purchasing power of $970 in one year. When you repay $1,000 without accounting for inflation, the friend effectively loses 3% of the value because the money they receive back can no longer buy the same amount of goods or services it could when they lent it to you.

Of course the value of money has changed but it's a great comparison. It does not show Congress taxed the rich btw. Nobody was paying 97.5% tax. They were just paying bribes to Congress to keep money black. That's how they destroyed our economy.
