138. Any money gaining you less than 12% is basically being destroyed.

The actual inflation rate right now is close to 12%, using the older, more accurate 1980 measurement. During the 1980's Raygun and all the way till now, the CPI measurement has been so altered, it's not even accurate anymore.

The are two ways to fund wars...higher taxes or currency debasement. Guess which route we're following.
