I already know it, kid.

I doubt that.

Try me, kid.

I'm sorry but I literally laughed out loud when I read your post.

Inflation is made on purpose in an economy because it is necessary. Inflation should be high enough where people are encouraged not to hoard their money and invest it, but not so high people's money becomes worthless.

Uhm. No. Just no.

Ummm, yea it does. Fiat Currencies in use today have a central bank to determine interest rates. They attempt to find the right balance. Now, Out of control inflation is not decided by the central bank and is a result of the rapid devaluing of a currency.

What? No. Most people are just indoctrinated with Keynesian philosophy, hence their disregard for the problem. Hell, they've been taught to believe said problem is necessary, toplel.
