Two-thirds of Americans making below $50,000 annually indicated that higher food prices have propelled them to change their eating habits. By contrast, 40% of individuals making $200,000 yearly revealed that inflation has changed their eating habits.
Inflation is no joke. It’s a policy that’s the result of easy money policies implemented by central banks. It hits the middle and working classes the hardest as they have to put up with higher costs across the board.
If the US is to remain a viable environment for socio-economic advancement, it must get inflation under control. The most effective way of doing so is by abolishing the Federal Reserve.
