Yesterday I was speaking to an elderly gentleman who like me can remember high inflation in the mid 1970’s thanks to the Arab countries greatly increasing the price of a barrel of oil and he said that back then there were no government handouts to deal with rising electricity and gas bills.
People got on with things and used their own initiative.
We also agreed that unions demanding large pay increases will cause high inflation.
This gentleman had a good suggestion.
When the inflation rate starts to fall these workers who have received a large percentage pay increase should receive a cut in their wages.
