This paper focuses on the current news in the United States of America about the growing prices. Since 2021, the prices in the United States have grown crazy, and after the war in Ukraine broke out, they increased even faster than before. Now the government of the United States has already taken some measures to solve the problem, but the measures are not useful because the prices are still growing. The paper will analyze the reasons and measures for the growing prices, then provide optimization plans based on existing policies. Considering the ability of the group members, the paper will focus on gasoline and food, which matter in the daily lives of American people and industries and stand out among all the increasing prices in the United States. Overall, the paper’s goal is to find some ideas to solve the price problems effectively and give optimization suggestions to the government of the United States.
