Don't get suckered into their blame game. This just results in everybody pointing fingers while the prices continue to soar.

I feel that you missed one basic aspect of economics. Competition is one reason prices might go up. There are other reasons, which are relevant here. Monopolies, collusion, price fixing, goods that people can't live without, speculation, those are also reasons that prices go up.
