3!!This episode contains the following tropes:
4* AnAesop: "Inflation hurts a nation."
5* FanDisservice: Milton Friedman buys a pair of skinny jeans in 2008 because they're "in." His struggles with them leave Gabby and the twins rather disturbed.
6->'''Ethan:''' At least I'm not thinking about Ben Franklin's big, weird head anymore.
7* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Milton Friedman, one of the most famous economists in American history, joins the Tuttles for their adventure.
8* LiteralMetaphor: Gabby creates a pair of goggles that allow the user to see metaphors, including the "inflation monster" as a literal, physical entity superimposed on reality.
9* {{Nepotism}}: Karinne is able to get away with inflating ticket prices at the carnival because her uncle runs the carnival.
10* ParentalSexualitySquick: Ethan gets grossed out when Mr. Tuttle jokes about turning the van into a "kissing booth" with Mrs. Tuttle.
