OK, assuming for a moment that this is happening... and new factories are popping up all over... where is the jump in employment for the construction? And why is this investment a cause for inflation? more capital chasing construction goods... sure, but manufacturing plants and home building overlap in only a few areas... so, again, not sure why this causes inflation.
