Wages and energy have not increased. Tariffs on food are basically non existent for most items.

It's 100% purely supply side pricing, propped up by government spending and credit (which is largely backstopped by the government as well).

I listened to a podcast recently that some 'homeowners' have not made a mortgage payment in years, have no ability to pay, but here are essentially unlimited 'no doc' mortgage modifications available since the Corona time period.
