Time will tell, but I also believe a lot of the inflation we're seeing started under Obama after the financial crisis (with policies continued by Trump/Biden). This has to do with the people at the Fed. Excessive increases in the money supply not backed up by real productivity growth causes inflation. The way I see it, most of the inflation under Obama went into assets. Hence wealth inequality kept rising under him. Over the past year-plus it's been unwinding into goods/services. The dollar is strong right now, but when it weakens inflation will get even worse than it is today.
