The trouble is inflation is a problem the whole world is experiencing. What we do here won't make a lot of difference as nothing is made here anymore.

Damned if you do... Raise interest rates and people have less money to spend. Keep them the same or low, people have more money, but prices will rise, and people can afford less. Billions in tax cuts will only force prices up. Increasing wages will force prices up. Increasing welfare will force prices up. Government spending has to decrease a lot, and that's just the starting point.

It is mostly the increase in government charges that are causing inflation, my rental property just got slugged an additional $500 land tax... the council rates are rising and all the required safety check fees, insurance and management fees are rising... so how does that not increase rents...and that is before mortgage interest rates rises are factored in! While at the same time the little guys are being screwed, we hear the government has failed to charge the billions of dollars of royalties on all the natural gas being sold overseas cheaper than we get it here! Wouldn't it be nice to have a government that is working in the best interests of it population rather than trying to swindle them... Our taxes, our rates, our gas and electricity, our fuel, are all about double the price in the USA... and other countries! That is the result of not having a basic bill of rights that can protect individuals in every day dealings of life!
