>First off, they lie about how much inflation there is.
Yes, but not in the way you think. The Government HAS TO increase the amount of money they give to Boomers via Social Security by an amount equivalent to inflation, so starting with Bill Clinton, they changed what they count in the "basket of goods" they use to calculate inflation. Housing, healthcare, college, and food aren't weighted heavily while the price of a TV is, despite TVs getting significantly cheaper over the past 30 years. The decrease in TV prices is actually lowering the official inflation statistics significantly by itself.
In short, inflation is about 50% worse than what the government reports. Officially we've had 25% inflation since 2020, but in reality it's more like 40% inflation.
