I don't think I would. Because there are too many steps between government action and a loss of purchasing power. You only get a clear image if you zoom out and look at the entire system. Most people can't really do that, and we can't pinpoint any one decision or legislation or bill or signature as "the" cause.

Of course, now that we DO have a clear image of the entire system, the answer is obvious. The challenge is to get anyone (ANY ONE) in government to realize it and do something concrete to fix it.
