Saw this quote, is it true?
“You guys all realise that with a 7.5% inflation rate, prices double every 9 years, right ?!”
Yes, the rule of 72.

Divide 72 by the interest rate to find the doubling time.

7% per year will yield roughly a 10 year doubling time.

2% per month would yield a 36 month doubling time. Etc.

It's a handy estimation tool.

Inflation seems invisible to the media for the most part. No coverage=no issue for Democrats.

1. So the Fed wants inflation to pay off debts faster?
2. But does not want wage inflation because it is always behind prices.
