...is correct... I just sold my 2013 Corvette Grand Sport, which sold for almost the amount I paid for it in 2015 - I could have sold it for $2-3K more than I paid for it... IF... I had been willing to go through the hassle of selling it at current retail.
Any time we have a government willing to spend trillions more than the economy is producing, and a federal reserve printing more money than the economy is producing - we will have rampant inflation, which is what is driving prices of everything "through the roof."
We can't give people more money than the goods and services they produce, or the demand will always be greater than the volume of goods and services produced - and the prices of goods and services will be bid up by the people with more money than they've actually earned through their production.
With the government's and dock worker union's ignorant restrictions in the supply chains limiting supply of almost everything, coupled with millions of consumers producing nothing, but living off those that produce - we will continue to have rampant inflation.
It's not the "greedy" wholesalers / retailers - it's the fools in our governments who are too poorly educated and informed to understand real economics.
