2% Inflation Means Prices Increase 25% in 12yrs - Guaranteed!
The Rule of 72 - divide your rate of return (in this case, a discount rate) into 72 to get the # of years that it will take to double (halve) your original principal at that constant rate
So .....
If we maintain a Bank of Canada sanctioned 2% inflation
-- the debts of all of us will diminish by 25% in just 12(+) yrs
That coupled with wages rising by COLA (remember that from 1970's)
the "whole problem" will just disappear
