One hand giveth ... the other hand taketh away...

So here we are ... wondering whether the prices would go up or down, whether fuel would be cheaper, or our electricity bill slimmer. Who knows, we are but at the hands of the almighty ... Government, is it for us or we for it. Energy, infrastructure and manufacturing would be hit. So how does this compare with reducing inflation, or in as much as even an attempt at reducing it‽
