A major reason that inflation is destroying the value of our savings is that the irresponsible fools running the federal government exploited Covid as a pretext to fling $billions upon $billions to the four winds. The money is still being spent as fast as our rulers can print it. Some has financed a gun buyback in Houston:

Over the weekend, Houston’s Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner held a gun buyback event in a church parking lot where residents could turn in their firearms and receive a gift card ranging from $50 to $200 with no questions asked. According to the Mayor’s announcement, the funds provided to those turning in firearms came from the American Rescue Plan — aka American taxpayers — and the amount-per-firearm was $50.00 for a non-functioning firearm, $100.00 for a rifle or shotgun, $150.00 for a handgun, and $200.00 for a fully automatic rifle.

Not a bad deal, considering how cheaply you can 3D print a gun:

One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return. The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards.

Sylvester Turner will go far in the Democratic Party. He knows how to waste our money on moronic gestures intended to reduce our freedom.
