from creditors to debtors.
So there are some rich people who are going to suffer because of inflation because they have a type of portfolio that's gonna be harmed, right?
Because inflation benefits debtors and hurts creditors.

government is more in debt than any government on any planet in the universe.
That'd be my guess.
So the U.S.
