You can’t print more money in one year than in the entire history of your country and not have an economic impact.

It’s not going back down. That’s a given.

Um. Wow. This is crazy. Why is it 33.4%???

2 years ago it was 18.8%. This is DOUBLE!

Will it stop increasing? Go back down? Are we doomed?
