My government tells me there is no inflation and I believe them.

I believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, Fairies, Unicorns, free stuff.......

I would prefer for you to post when you think you have something worth saying. Short or long. You’ve earned my trust, here to stay until you don’t want to do it anymore.

Also noticed the frog theme - reminded me of a certain symbolism, not altogether inappropriate for the content: Frogs in the Bible represent either God's powerful judgment or symbolic demonic corruption. In the Old Testament, frogs are a literal plague sent by God upon the Egyptians in the book of Exodus. In the New Testament, particularly Revelation 16:13-14, frog-like spirits are unclean entities that emerge from the dragon, beast, and false prophet to deceive and gather nations for the final battle against God.

Like a young frog, some voters find the President a tad polarizing.

What did the gold bug say to the frog about the bull market? Hop on!

What might you call Janet Yellen with a frog on her head? Lily?!

In what way do Fed governors behave like frogs? They leap to conclusions.

If frogs ran the Fed what would we have more of? River banks.

Why can't a frog be nominated as a Fed governor? They'd croak before they got confirmed.

How are Fed governors like frogs? They jump to to wrong conclusions.

In what way is the Fed Chair like a frog to the President? He has never toad the line.

What do frogs make good economists? Because they find analyzing data to be ribitting.

Why do frogs make such good politicians? Because they are am-fib-ious.

How would a frog feel after being accused of mortgage fraud? Very unhoppy.

Search return indicates the word "phoney" appears 24-30 times in "The Catcher In The Rye." That novel came out in 1951. Author JD Salinger mover to his hermitage, into reclusion, shortly after.

Artificial real has been abundant for a lot longer than solvency has.
