Government Spending and Inflation. Part 4

In previous posts on this topic,1,2,3 we have looked at the historical records of inflation and deficit spending by the U.S. federal government.  The changing dates for the government’s fiscal year over the country’s history confounded the correlation analysis of that data.  Since 1913, U.S. inflation data has been recorded monthly.  In this post, we will use the data since 1913 to align the timelines of the two variables.
