'Top Economists'? They know nothing; they get paid by one faction or another to dream up stuff for their partisan agendas.
Prices will go up as long as idiots are willing to keep paying high prices for their instant gratification addictions. There is only so much disposable income, and credit bubbles always burst sooner or later. A much more accurate indicator is not those silly ass 'supply an demand' and Laffer curves, but how much money do consumers have left after rent gouging and big increases in utilities like electric , gas, food, and fuel suck up over 80% of their dwindling incomes. I know it's news to many here, but billionaires don't take up the slack and buy more TVs and bread n stuff to make up for all those proles out there going shopping, and retail sales and mowing yards and washing cars don't make for a First World economy.
