Even if I also have a hunch that your attribution of inflation to handouts is true, I do not believe that it has been established.

What is clear however, that increased prices for labor, wheat and energy, combined with post-covid logistics issues, have very clearly increased consumer pricing.

Inflation is due to the amount of money (over $10 trillion? hard to find a solid number that doesn't end in bickering about small details) created by the US Federal Reserve, in no small part in order to pay for handouts to people in businesses.
