I imagine our country would have a pretty high inflation rate too if all the other countries in the world were playing ridiculously high prices for our energy sources.

If we had a few extra trillion dollars a year pouring in to our country, prices for basic stuff would get pretty expensive in a hurry.

In Iran, it doesn’t “pour into the country”. It pours into the gov’t. The people never see the money.
