This was the greatest argument posed by the leaders of the state banks against the Second Bank of the United States (Roughshod 2).

According to the article, from September 2014 to September 2015, the economy had fallen 7.1% and inflation rose 141.5%. This is not the worst of it either, as it is predicted that inflation will rise to 720% this year and the economy will contract by 10%.
