    Not increasing pay with inflation is a pay cut because your pay is literally worth less without it.

    In a sane world, if the fed is dictating the money supply, with their actions directly impacting inflation, every workers pay should be indexed to inflation. Same goes for taxation, welfare payments, etc. Companies raise their prices regardless.
