It not like this suddenly slapped Congress in the face overnight.

We the taxpayers have had to learn to live within a defined income budget, or become homeless and even go to jail.

But every time Congress overspends, pretends to fight and ends up V-printing more $$$$ and causing greater inflation due to its spending addicition.


Look at Inflation as reducing our buying power.
Eg. To purchase $1 worth of goods in 1990 would cost $2.07 in 2021 US dollars. A lost of 51% in consumer buying power. Now think of how that equates to Retirees?

Shouldn't Congress be held to the same legal standards it holds the Taxpayers by law?
