Inflation is a big bonus to debtors. It allows you to borrow in dollars and repay in dimes.

And since the US government is the biggest debtor in the history of the world, it is the single largest beneficiary of inflation.

Unfortunately most debtors are paying high interest, so they don’t get the benefits of inflation - only the drawbacks.

Gov'ts & Banks have caused the current inflationary crisis to benefit their massive debts.

In the USA, ~80 million of the ~160 million working age Americans hold $16 Trillion in mortgage debt.

So using that as a guide, only about ~50% of people holding assets *benefit* from government-induced inflation.
