The "greediness" in normal times would get companies dragged in front of Congress.

The inflation is a convenient foil for explaining price hikes. Federal spending certainly contributes to the problem, but is not the whole story.

The several trillions of deficit spending the government engaged in in the last couple years more than explains the inflation.
