Core PPI, which doesn't include food and energy, MORE than doubled expectations, up .5% compared to the .2% that was expected.

We're going to get fucked by inflation if the Fed doesn't start considering raising rates. It's like they're ignoring inflation for the sake of bank balance sheets. The banks are fucking FINE at this point, they're paying back TARP and turning profits.

It's time to start extinguishing some of the monetary base!

Inflation will be the only way out of this recession.
Which is not really a way out.

All other rates will rise as the "recovery" grows a bit.

Nothing like a newbie who no one knows coming in and making a one sentence statement without ANYTHING backing up the assertion.
