You have to look back in history. What happened after the super high inflation years of Jimmy Carter? Did prices go back down?
Silver is the only thing that is cheaper today than that period
And to end inflation Volker rised rates to double digits. He also had the usury laws changed to allow that. Those laws were not put back into effect when rates went down which is why credit cards can have 30% interest. Obama’s treasury sec said real inflation was around 18%.
Rates need to be at least 10% higher to have any effect. But you are correct. No. Items priced in dollars never come down.
Weimar America incoming. Many Americans did Nazi that coming.
