The problem is not that we use too much of it
It's that the USA is the only country that can produce it cheaply and since that means they don't make any money off it they've committed to selling off their stockpiles at rock-bottom prices to drive up the price of any remaining helium. Essentially, the market value of a balloon of helium should be around $150, given how much we need it, but the Shermans' economic policies mean that we're wasting it all doing silly voices and all that
