#5  LG,
There is a direct relationship between oil price and inflation. Biden caused the worst of this by creating a shortage of carbon energy. And it's going to get worse.

#4  even without the Biden Admin actions on energy and the Biden era mega spending bills we would be having some inflation

because of the supply chain issues, the Trump era mega spending (the CARES Act - was $2.2 Trillion) and the recovery from the worst of the pandemic

but I think the inflation would only be about half of what we have now
