Elaina Plott, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 9 hours ago

Donald J. Trump’s were much worse as they assail what they call a double
standard.

The low and predictable inflation makes the system work.
Adjustmen of entitlements is also necessary.
Savings must pay significant interest.
Constant adjustment keeps the financial system working and comfortable for all.
