Since 1961, the average an-
nual inflation has been over
$10 billion. Except for Federal
income tax, inflation takes
more purchasing power away
from the American people
than any other item. As this
trend continues, the problem
grows more serious. It is ur-
gent that steps be taken im-
mediately at both the legisla-
tive and executive levels to
stop multi-billion dollar Feder-
al deficit spending which lays
the foundation for inflation.
