Should inflation be ILLEGALIZED?

Sure inflation erodes government debt. What he fails to mention is that it equally erodes our savings. (It equally erodes the value of everything.)

Government has no right corroding the value of our savings/money!

Well, of course I would like to keep every penny I earn, but I can understand why we have to spit out some to help our economy.   Didn't I send you a digital textbook on Securities?   Capital is sensitive, it drifts to places that carries a strong economy.   If our government has a huge debt, and doesn't fix it, our economy will crash.   It's balance that I take account to; hence, I don't mind inflation.   It sucks, it really sucks.   Man, I hate politics.

You are a very confused girl. And clearly all your economics texts aren't helping any.

But, weak knowledge of economics aside, there are several pink elephants in the room that you are absolutely completely still ignoring. First of all, the phrase "our government" is absolutely wrong. I don't endorse them. Nobody really endorses them. It's forced on us. It certainly doesn't act on my behalf! This is a crucial point you have to understand.

And second of all, you say "I, Vina, don't mind stealing Dennis' pennies". Well, good for you. I do mind! This is another crucial point that you still clearly don't understand.

Most of us would like to have a higher standard of living in Canada.   In order to do so, we must contribute to enhance the economy.   Believe it or not, our salaries have been increasing throughout history (surely there are years of recession, but that's only part of the business cycle, and then it recovers - thanks to government intervention).
