Yes, and we're paying the difference by accumulating enormous quantities of debt. Our households are by far the most indebted in the G7. When you take, you divide total household debt by GDP, we now have a bigger stock of household debt than our entire economy. We are more indebted as households than the Americans were right before the 08 financial crisis.

And so what we have as a model in Canada is we have artificial scarcity imposed by a very heavy and restrictive state, confiscatory state, that suppresses production. But in order to allow for consumption, we print money and borrow money and then flood the economy with that money.

It's horrible. Inflation is the single most immoral tax for so many reasons. One, it takes from savers and people who are trying to be responsible, thus making it impossible to be responsible.
