Money comparisons that aren't inflation adjusted aren't "honest". They are in fact DIShonest.


Which metric of inflation are you adjusting it to? And which assumptions are built into the goods and services measured, as well as their respective weights, of that index?


That's a false dichotomy. An imperfectly measured inflation adjustment IS STILL VASTLY SUPERIOR to a non-adjusted number. By an enormous amount.


How do you even measure inflation accurately, given the current government, and has there been 61% inflation over the last 5 years?


Economists exists, we have data on this. Don't be silly.
