Our energy position? We have record net exports in every category except coal. Coal net exports have yet to return to 2012 levels, but that is world demand... not something the US can control.
Our inflation is due to higher labor costs resulting from a smaller workforce... we pay a lot more for trades people... and higher quality/design on the materials side.
We know how to keep housing costs down... we just don't want to.
