“The public views inflation as the top problem facing the United States – and no other concern comes close. Seven-in-ten Americans view inflation as a very big problem for the country, followed by the affordability of health care (55%) and violent crime (54%).”

What is so disturbing to the American public, we would think, is how quickly it surfaced, how swiftly it advanced to near double-digit levels, and how persistent it has become.
