Well, the CPI during WWII (1940-1945) was about 2.5% per
BLS calculator, while yields were low (Bart's govt debt spike)

However, an older story with Continental dollar was much less
successful. We created hyperinflation in the US.
We've been monetizing lately at about the same pace
as we did back then -g-

Of course, one key difference was that back during WWII
35 dollars always bought 1 gold Oz., so, monetary expansion
and QE was not something you could easily do.
