Excellent short movie on Inflation; DVR alert

I hear this will be running may 17;

INFLATION is going to be shown Thursday night after THE HOODLUM SAINT (1946), around 12:36 a.m. Pacific time, 3:36 a.m. Eastern.

Dated 1942, it's an awesome movie about the potential terrors of inflation and actually ascribes
the evil [of inflation] as an invention of the devil. (I concur.... the devil would be a communist)
That's the upside.

The downside is the movie prescribes the gov't as the savior of the people and higher taxes as the cure.
(Which of course it is! If you tax the middle class into poverty there will be no demand and no inflation)

I strongly recommend this even if only as a view of the days when a semblance of truth was still legal to print.
