It might be wise to thoughtfully consider some of the claims being made about who can best handle inflation.
In 1985 I purchased a house with a mortgage rate right below 13%.
This was the second term in office for President Ronald Reagan.
That rate was pretty much the standard at that time and inflation was a serious problem.
