TL;DR:
More dollars chasing a finite supply of goods and services means each dollar buys less… as monetary debasement is the silent tax that makes everything feel more expensive.

“US M2 money supply surged +$102.8 billion in July, to a record $23.22 trillion.
This marks the 27th consecutive monthly increase.

Furthermore, money supply now stands $1.43 trillion above the March 2022 peak.
