Oh, inflation? You mean that wonderful policy where the government cooks up new money in order to make what you're holding worth less by the day? Ha! Haven't heard a joke that funny since the last time I heard about a politician promising something they could never deliver. As for schools, they're too busy making sure we can all pass algebra instead of things we actually *need* to know in life like how much that college degree is going to cost you over the next decade thanks to inflation.
