Infographic ignores causes of increase of the consumer price index, immigration, and now the oil price increase. I dont consider supply and demand to be inflation, that is just the price adjusting to the market. Inflation relative to gold is basically non-existant, so inflation must be from the Federal Reserve printing monopoly money they get to use first, which hurts everyone else. The problem is and has been for 20 years, that core necessities (food, clothing, housing, transportation, healthcare) have gone dramatically up for 20 years, while gadgets have gone dramatically down. Thats why you can see a homeless person with a smartphone and a TV but eating out of the foodbank and living in a cardboard box.
