That "lesson" isn't exactly new, I've seen this piece of propaganda go around the e-mail loop at least a dozen times in the last decade. Always from hardcore conservatives who think the answer to any problem is to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country.

Oh, and an increase in inflation isn't just something that might happen, it's already happened. The price of food staples like milk, eggs, meat, etc. have all gone up 20-30% in the last year. Anyone else been looking at their grocery bill and wondering why it seemed so damned high these days? You're not just imagining it, things really are more expensive now.

Dollars to donuts it just gets worse, because our currency is sinking like a lead balloon and the Fed doesn't seem to be interested in anything but continually cutting interest rates.
