Interpreted Prediction
Predicted that using inflation to solve the national debt problem will be more harmful than the debt itself.
AI Evaluation Notes
Economic analyses since August 2024 indicate that while inflation can reduce the real value of national debt, its associated consequences, such as rising interest rates, increased debt servicing costs, and erosion of purchasing power, are significant and often considered detrimental. The risk of a 'debt-inflation spiral' is also highlighted as a feared outcome. These factors suggest that using or experiencing inflation as a means to address national debt has indeed presented substantial harm.
