Persistent inflation allows Govt to rip off their lenders. It forces people to invest rather than idly save which puts money in investments offered by banks, mutual funds etc, thus ensuring their profits through fees and interest. It allows money printing and profiting off of being able to be the first one to lend it at lower interest and get paid back at higher interest.

You're right, GZ. Soon, the term "trillion" will be trivial, considering how much the ba$tards e-print. The term "trillion" will soon come to be regarded as "billion" once was, and as "million" once was before that.

Terms like quadrillion, quintillion and sextillion will come into common usage before much longer, with briefer pauses between each escalation. Hell, how can it not?
