Letter: The personal price that must be paid for the pursuit of zero inflation
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Many of your readers might share my appreciation if you would find a feature writer who could explain Britain's financial mess to us from a starting point like, 'Once upon a time . . .'
I read every word you print on the matter. I remain totally baffled. For instance, it seems that I can do my bit by heading for the high street and making extravagant use of my credit cards. Since I would buy Japanese electronics, a German car, Italian furniture and French food, how would this help? And when and why did it cease to be a virtue to live within one's means?
And please tell the feature writer that we would like the ending to the article to be 'and they all lived happily ever after'.
Yours faithfully,
