Thank you for at least having in general, "politicians" in your title ( before too).
Trying to understand these fascinating times, and also trying to speculate on answers can be better done without framing everything relative to the liberal demons. Why, because you are starting off with a STRONG belief about where the answer lies, before you even begin to openmindedly look at the question.
Actually I should have included economists in the title. And why tiptoe around the elephant? If liberals are primarily the ones who can't, or refuse to understand these simple principals, why cut them any slack? Their radical, unsound policies are causing mass disruption to our whole country, and they are not cutting anyone any slack - thats all.
OK, I'll bend a little - most republican politicians also find these concepts too difficult to understand.
Whats a crying shame is the lack of understanding of the relationship between The Fed and fiat currency and inflation and price increases and the unwillingness of politicians to be held accountable and comply with the law.
The Fed is the root problem, but the politicians have conspired with them in the scheme because they benefit by having more money to spend than is brought in by taxes. The Fed simply prints more money. The politicians (and The Fed) are the winners, and the people they are sworn to protect are the losers. Its become The Government vs. the people.
The servent has become the master. Liberty is denigrating into tyranny.
The solution? A return of Limited Constitutional Government - its that simple.
(2) The invisible hand
I am down with the invisible hand, as well as the rest of the body.
With an open mind, I can confidently say, Liberal policy is that of unintended consequences.
Republicans when the screw shit up, it's exactly what they said they were going to do, before the ground breaking even began. Republicans sat out to make Corporate all you can eat buffet of excess and pork. Liberals create more through sheer irony and lack of foresight, while they were trying to make a "Build a Bear" in the mall.

(3) More money = currency depreciation.
(4) Currency depreciation = higher prices.
(5) Prices, wages and rents should be set by supply and demand, not government interference.
(6) Trial and error.
(7) Liberal government policy pits producers against non-producers, the well against the sick, the young against the old, and one race against another. But it does so for "compassionate reasons," Â of course
