Drum roll please??? Double digit inflation for years! (1977-1982) Do you know what an interest rate was for your house mortgage back then? Try 17%!!!! I'll say that again, 17%. What are you paying now 3%? We have all been spoiled for 40 years of almost no inflation that you would notice! This inflation is just another example of the side effects of the Covid 19 pandemic! The sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner we can get this pandemic behind us and some of this inflation!
