 Inflation is good for debt holders, it reduces it.

And people believe the government, 36 trillion in debt, is gonna do something about inflation 💀

 Yes, deflation of prices means money going up against goods and services as well as debt denominated in that money, which means debt will not be paid or much harder to pay. It's obvious, but few know or think about this.
