Deep dives

Understanding Inflation

Inflation is defined primarily as the expansion of the money supply over time, which has been deliberately misrepresented by government officials to blame price increases on factors such as corporate greed. Understanding the true source of inflation is critical; it stems from increased money supply governed by entities like the Federal Reserve, and not from grocery stores or external forces. When inflation is labeled inaccurately, it allows the government to deflect blame, distancing itself from its role in creating inflationary pressures. Ultimately, inflated prices reflect the impact of government policies rather than the actions of businesses.
