...which is like stating that somebody with a brain tumor is still alive. Yes, he's alive but he ain't healthy and doesn't have a rosy outlook. The out of control spending, borrowing, printing money out of the blue will cripple this country economically if it doesn't stop, and it will happen in all of our lifetimes.
When you factor the recklessness of government spending, printing money, and ridiculously low interest rates, along with the current administration's idiotic energy policy you get a true rate of inflation- not the current definition of core inflation which stupidly is ex food and energy- that will bring this country to its knees in very short order, unlike anything you have seen in your relatively short life.
