1- The largest increase in the adjusted CPI was recorded in 1973, with an inflation rate of 11.04%. 2- The inflation increase at the end of the 1960s is explained by the fact that the Lyndon Johnson government was forced to increase taxes, increase the issuance of currency and cut public expenditures in order to meet the military expenses that the Vietnam War generated. 3 - Inflation might be bad for American consumers because the salary earned by each one of them would lose it's power over time. diavinad8 and 33 more users found this answer helpful
