Avoiding Inflation

 
1. Some say
     that inflation is desirable.
  
2. Some say
     that inflation is deplorable.

3. Some say
     that inflation is deplorable
     but inevitable.

4. The way to avoid inflation
     is to tighten the burden
     of money-borrowers
     without robbing the money-lenders.

5. And the way
     to lighten the burden
     of money-borrowers
     with robbing the money-lenders
     is to pass two laws:
     one law making immediately illegal
     all interest on money lent
     and another law
     obligating the money-borrowers
     to pay one per cent of the debt
     every year
     during a period
     of a hundred years.
