between many in our society. Many have extra disposable income and buy aggressively enough to cause inflation while others can hardly make ends meet, even when jobs are available. But many of those who are having trouble are not at all disciplined in the way they spend money. Caretakers who help me with my wife are often very good and caring, but they come in with a drink and a breakfast from a local convenience store spending much of what they will make in a hour. I don't get it. They work hard, some are smart with kids to support but just can't pass up on the junk.

Buying doesn't cause inflation. Printing money causes inflation.

He is speaking out both sides of his mouth. The lefts failed monetary policy is to tax the rich to force them to spend instead of save, then he complains about spending causing inflation. Perhaps it’s the printing presses….

Yea, that is pretty much what I see happening. I have found to be the rule of thumb is , those that are not reliable with their money did not earn their money, they got it through government assistance. It is like anything in this world, if you work for it, earn it, then you are more likely going to take care of it. Whereas those that do not earn it do not work for it, they could care less about it, they have no investment in it. I cannot for the life of me se why Liberals do not see this trend that has been going on for years and years......oh wait...they need those people dependent on government, that is what gets them their vote and keep them in office to collect another million or two from us the taxpayers. Liberals/Democrats are the most idiotic and stupid class of people in the entire world.

Maybe pay them the same but let them work from home for the first 2 hours so they can cook themselves a beautiful nutritious breakfast.

The buying shifts the supply demand curve causing prices to increase, so yes, buying does cause inflation. Deficit spending, which we have had way too much by both Democrats and Republicans, has increased inflation because it increases the money supply for buying.

Deficit spending, which we have had way too much by both Democrats and Republicans, has increased inflation because it increases the money supply for buying. Then again, the bottom line it is OUR FAULT, we voted them in. Both sides of our government is willing to spend billions on useless stuff that will only benefit a very small portion of the people. When we get tired of all this we will begin to vote them out and get hopefully better servants of the people. As it is, people vote for the same people who has caused the problem back into office...its a vicious cycle.

First generation wealth is hard to create no matter the economic conditions.
