Correct me if I'm wrong.

22 percent of the dollars that are in existence today have been created in 2020.

Maybe that refers to a measure of the money supply, I'm not sure.
The US national debt has increased 17.6% in the past 12 months, largely due to trillions of dollars of COVID relief.

Makes campaign funds seem like a drop in the bucket... but, think what could be done with that money over a period of years

So, our buying power has dropped 17.4 percent in 12 months.

Everything's fine.

Yeah, if a big chunk of the campaign money was spent on food and clothing for the truly needy (as opposed to those who are too lazy to work), it would make a big difference!

I would not say the increase in the debt translates 1:1 into the same loss in buying power, but this level of debt is not good! A country cannot increase debt forever without eventual dire consequences – Venezuela is a good example of this. The US needs to cut spending to help reduce the debt (and I would say drastically cut/eliminate frivolous spending).

Much needed change of pace: I’m a sucker for unsalted butter. I mean, why and who’d add salt to butter?!

You’re a cheat! You add salt to buttery popcorn. That’s a different kinda chemistry project

I only like my banana nut bread with salt on it. No butter. Just salt.

Movie popcorn I ask for no butter. Home popcorn is hot air pop with unsalted butter or microwave smartpop ( lazy ) lol.
