I don't know enough about economics to really contribute to the conversation. I totally understood everything you posted but had no knowledge or concept of it before you shared it.

Yes you definitely are. You're the book guy who tries to look smart, and just compounds your stupidity. Do you even know what inflation is?

I do. Do you know what actually drives it?

Hint: What is the value of that Reserve Note in your pocket?
