"The inflation rate is at 4%. We want to bring it down to 2%." Biggest scam of our time. That number is BS. 1.) Real estate or rent price increases aren't even included in the inflation calculation, despite constituting 30-50% of the monthly incomes of most households. 2.) They have recently financed 2 proxy wars, despite rising national debt and record budget deficits. Guess where the money comes from? (hint: "brrrr") Nobody really knows the real inflation rate, but we have all indications that it's much higher than what they tell us.
