Original Note:
This isn't inflation; it's the Fed's M2 metric of available money supply. The spike reflects COVID relief funds. (Presented as % change over 12 months, the later Biden-era $$ increases show as positive but smaller than the COVID-induced spike.) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?graph_id=248494, https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/m2.asp, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WM2NS Inflation data: https://beta.bls.gov/dataViewer/view/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0, https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/
