Deutsche Übersetzung

Alles in allem ist billiges Gas eine Illusion, weil unsere Abhängigkeit von Gas eine ganze Reihe von Kosten verursacht, die nicht in den Pumpenpreis einfließen - darunter Stau, Umweltverschmutzung und ein erhöhtes Unfallrisiko.

There is no such thing as agflation. Rising commodity prices, or increases in any prices, do not cause inflation. Inflation is what causes prices to rise. Of course, in market economies, prices for individual goods and services rise and fall based on changes in supply and demand, but it is only through inflation that prices rise in aggregate.

Peter Schiff
