Too many dollars chasing too few products and services? Certainly companies are able to raise prices, because they can, and people will pay those inflated prices. Our Netflix membership price increased again, as it increased just a few months ago. Did Netflix bear increased cost...not a chance; they raised prices because they could.
Inflation in the basics that people of all income levels is definitely a concern, as groceries, food, gas and other basics effect most people. But with increases in high end audio equipment prices. I can't get all teary eyed about those inflation numbers.
