Again. The "price" is going "up", because the dollar is going DOWN. Lugers are costing more dollars because the dollar is worth-less, not because the Luger is worth more. The Federal Reserve (Which, by the way is run by banks, not the government) pours more dollars into the market,(quantitative easing, they call it) which floods the market with dollars, making them worth less. Therefore, it takes more dollars to buy the same item,(a Luger). It seems folks have hard time wrapping their heads around the concept of a worthless dollar.
