Hmmm. Why do you think it is that the costs of products and services produced by certain industries, like medical care and higher education, tend to rise much faster than inflation, while costs in other industries, like say, technology, fall over time? Could it have something to do with the fact that the industries where costs are increasing are those most heavily regulated and subsidized by multiple layers of government, while those where costs are falling (and quality is rising) are those that are least regulated and subsidized? Perish the thought! Much easier to just scream "greed!!!" and feel a bit morally superior than to actually try to understand what the problem is.
