the answer is very simple...

our government prints money without it being backed by gold or silver, thus creating inflation.. inflation is when the puchasing power of the currency is reduced.. when the purchasing power decreases, the cost of goods and services go up.. gas, vehicles, groceries, education, energy, etc..

there are some markets that are affected even more because government not only distorts the money supply, but also because government loves to regulate... ever notice education costing more? it's because the government provides taxpayer subsidized loans.. the cost to build a house grows because government is involved in the insurance business.. want to buy a car? well, we know how much government wants a piece of that pie..

we would be able to afford nice German and Italian cars if the purchasing power of our dollar was as it was before we got off the gold standard and surrendered our soverignty to a central bank called the Federal Reserve.. a limited money supply is the crux to big government politicians.. because they are forced to only spend what they get, and what they get is under extreme guidlines of the Constitution
