Creeping Inflation Takes Toll
UPI reports creeping inflation as the U.S. government runs another deficit, shrinking the dollar's purchasing power over 29 years. The piece notes 25 deficits in 29 years, 260 billion dollars of national debt, and an anticipated 8 to 9 billion deficit in fiscal 1959, with examples of how a dollar buys far fewer goods than in 1929.
