I'm reminded of this article from 2020 [1]:

>The United States printed more money in June than in the first two centuries after its founding. Last month the U.S. budget deficit — $864 billion — was larger than the total debt incurred from 1776 through the end of 1979.

and this is a good graph of our money supply (M1) [2]

The inflation is here to stay. And it will only get worse. Fed's recent 25-basis point rate hike won't do anything to curtail the inflation.
