(18% inflation) Don't think anything the Fed does will matter though. Soon enough the USD will lose it's status as the petrodollar and world reserve currency. Then all that money will all come back home. It'll be hyperinflation, not just inflation. :doom360: |

There is a certain drink that my son likes and they are always on sale for 99 cents each. Regular prices is 1.19. Well yesterday they were "ON SALE" for 2/$3.00. So they went up to $1.50 just like THAT! Noticed it with some other items, too. But that one really got me because I have been buying it regularly for months. |

The all-items inflation rate represents everything people spend money on: haircuts, plane tickets, medical care, clothes -- you name it. But, that number is puffed up by the pesky necessities -- food and energy. So those two categories are discarded when calculating the core inflation rate. So,they have been using some BS new math that has been modified over the past few decades. Just a couple of examples. 6 years ago average price of 2 liter soda(coke or Pepsi)not on sale was $1.09. today it is about $2.19 to $2.29. Store brand bread was .80 and now it is $1.69. Then there is the price of fuel that I don't even want to get into. See where this is going? WTF would serious inflation do? |

How is a borrower's wage increase going to pay down debt if they have to pay more at the store for groceries? "I got a $50/wk raise but my grocery bill went up by $50....." Isn't this like a dog chasing its tail. |
