Price gouging is like when people sell water for $10 after a hurricame.
That's not what this is.
The government has manipulated our currency to the point where most people can only by stuff that will eventually fill landfills now.
They only track the price of TV's and microwaves with CPI because they know the public can't handle the truth. How can "greedy businesses" gouge the price of real eatate and used cars?
