So is inflation a necessary evil or "needed" for a country like ours with world currency because our leaders are worried too many dollars May flow back into the US and we need to be able to spend or use them? Thus increase prices and we can now "spend" the dollars flowing back into the US? Just curious why inflation is put on the people other than cutting back on what people can afford ? I may be way off on this I'm just curious if there are other "reasons" someone or a country would want inflation?
