Inflation is definitely government caused. Historically it has been by printing too much paper. Now the government has taken a new course, instead of printing money they are borrowing from themselves, i.e. the credit card method. As everyone knows, with a credit card it can only end 1 of 2 ways. Either you end up paying more in the end (which will cause inflation) or you go bankrupt (deflation). Which do you think it will be for our government?
