Inflation for the last few months is at 10.8% but if you throw in fuel and food, which is not in the official number, it's closer to 13-14%. Of course the fed is saying these increases are "transatory" which is not true unless you ponder deflation/stagflation which could be on the horizon.
By the end of the year we will be in debt for $30 trillion. It was mathematically impossible to grow out of the debt around $14 trillion. Since $14 trillion it was going to take spending cuts, taxes or inflation. Inflation is here to stay for a while...perhaps Jimmy Carter style inflation. It makes no sense to hold cash that looses a dime on a dollar in purchasing power each year. So...people recognizing that are going to be buying hard assets like land, homes, jewelry, gold, stocks all that kind of stuff which will drive those prices up.
Right now I'm pretty happy being invested in food, oil and utility stocks. All have dividends and room to rumble....
