Covering the "why" inflation is happening.

1. Inflation is one of the biggest worries among right-wingers...

... because it diminishes the real value of accumulated wealth among their property-class of constituents.

It can be a problem for everyone else too, of course, but not so much if their wages (or retirement benefits) increase as well.

But inflation is still a bigger concern to people with millions of bucks, hoping to continue using that wealth to earn more money instead of actually working for it.

The Thurston Howells of the world don't want the professor to create a money-printing machine on Gilligan's Island, or he might not get to comfortably lean back and sip through a straw from a coconut cup while the peons there actually work.
