In the First Place
Inflation’s not so hard to understand:
the government takes certain monies in
‘til it’s got all the moolah it can get
so much as groaning taxpayers will bear.
From there, a legal magic comes about:
replete, the treasury spends all it got
and then mints more bright tokens to support
unending purchases. All tokens pass
diluted, equal, every one worth less.
