From the metrics I am seeing reported, I don't think it's so bad, at least certainly nowhere near the great depression. Inflation is indeed way up, but unemployment is way down. I think what we are seeing is a great shortage of things, hence the increased prices, I very much think it's still part of the pandemic and the inflation will eventually subside, on the bright side if it doesn't you can stop worrying about debt (your or the country's).
