(-; I like it ;-) a norm that the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land and the fed working hand in glove have learned to overcome. Unemployment and inflation all at the same time.

Economics 101, if you relentlessly continue to pay for something, it will grow. The welfare state's continued paying for unemployment has the effect of growth. The more you pay for inflation, the more you get.

Uncle Milton will, more and more be seen as a flash in the pan who was wrong on just about everything.
