US Economy: Consumer Prices Up 5%, 17-Year High

Quote:
U.S. consumer prices surged 5 percent in the past year, the biggest jump since 1991, just as households struggled with falling home values and the credit crunch.

Spiraling expenses for food and fuel spurred the increase in June, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The cost of living rose 1.1 percent from May, more than forecast and the second-largest rise since 1982.

They're up higher than 5%.

Inflation is an invisible tax. Bush increased taxes by the largest amount in history with his deficit spending which created this inflation. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Stupid Republicans.

I'll be the first one to lay blame on a president for signing a deficit budget into law, but you can't stick the president with all the blame and let congress skate. Reagan had a dem congress, btw.

You know, I kind of do too, but what's that going to accomplish? Kill us all here at home so our Dollar holders overseas don't feel compelled to send those Dollars back here?

The only way that would be a good idea, is if they just do it, get it over with, get the pain over with here at home, and NEVER DO THAT KIND OF SHIT AGAIN. Deflate the supply, and start treating the Dollar properly.

Of course, what good would ANY of it do if we're still going to be nation building?
