There's more than just monetary policy and war. Monetary policy would imply demand for gas is up, driving prices up. But demand for gas is still lower now than it was pre-covid. Oil is on its way out the door. Oil companies all have pr

Why wouldn't you focus on both? What's needed are solutions, in the search for them you should be willing to look anywhere that could yield one.

If inflation is occurring in Oil & Gas because of the crisis in Ukraine and inflation is occurring in eggs and beef because of monopolistic price gouging, then what is the point of lowering government spending? End the crisis in Ukraine
