To the editor:

I am not a young man anymore. I’ve worked very hard my entire life to support my family, pay my mortgage, utility bills and send my kids to college. I have accumulated a modest amount of wealth thru regular savings, investing and maintaining a modest lifestyle.

The US GDP is 21 TRILLION, and depends on a stable peaceful world. The money comes from taxes, and is a drop in the bucket.

Really? Then maybe you can explain the current (underestimated) inflation rate of 8.5%.

GDP numbers are meaningless when the value of the dollar is hollowed out and worthless.
