I actually agree with you I’d probably do the same thing. Inflation cleans up balance sheets and It’s the only way to get effective out from this crazy debt load. As a Democrat you want inflation it’s good for labor, and it gets you out of pension pit that you can’t pay. 5% is probably not quite enough you probably need 7% and interest rates to match. The current dislocation is terrible though the longer it lasts the more rich folks get assets at 1% that will inflate up at 7% making Crazy profit.
