Surely Americans are not so stupid that they want to blame inflation on "price fixing"?
The trouble is that too many refuse to give serious thoughts to critical issues. They rely on the lying MSM for their education.
Everyone (Left or Right) should have been able to see immediately that when Biden killed the oil and gas industry prices shot up. When he introduced the falsely named Inflation Reduction Act, prices shot up. When the RINOs put forward those obscene spending bills, prices shot up.
When a government gives "free money" to millions who do not belong in the country and will never pay taxes, demand for goods goes up, while the supply remains the same. At the same time time both the deficit and the national debt go up.
The result is inflation. If you are a business owner and your shelves get emptied in a hurry, that is a bonanza. So the next batch of goods is inflated by 25% over original price. If this happens again the next batch of goods is at 50% over.
This is not gouging but responding to a highly increased demand. Also those supplying this business are experiences price increases for their raw materials and their prices go up. Thus there is a cycle of inflation created by the government. Which then refuses to take responsibility.
