It's the mass debt insolvency that is the real problem. It's economics 101. You cannot create endless amount of fiat currency (effectively counterfeiting) without destroying the purchasing power, the value, of that currency. This is why counterfeiting is illegal for people to do, it should be also be illegal for governments and central banks to do it too as it is a national security threat to our future economic well being. Everything is going up in price because the dollar is constantly losing it's value, it's purchasing power. Assets and property don't gain or lose value, fiat currency does. If the dollar only purchases half of the lumber it could 20 years ago then construction costs double and homes become more unaffordable. Economics 101.
