Bad News for the GOP: Inflation Rate Worst in *17* Years

Inflation Rate Is Worst in 17 Years WASHINGTON (AP) -- Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed inflation up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices generally remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile, industrial output was flat in December, more evidence of a significant slowdown in the economy. Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of 2007, up sharply from a 2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Consumers felt the pain when they filled up their gas tanks or shopped for groceries. Prices for both energy and food shot up by the largest amount since 1990. Actually the opening line was: 'Under Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat controlled Congress' Sorry, Bilious, but the Democrats do not control Congress. They have simple majorities. When you control Congress, you have supermajorities, enough votes in your own party to control legislation and to overturn presidential vetoes. Not to worry. Next January, the Democrats will control the White House and increase their simple majorities in Congress. Unless your write-in campaign for Zell Miller or some other lunatic succeeds. What economic policies there are in place now are those of the Bush Administration. Bad news for the GOP. So sad. They control congress. They have a majority. Thanks, Forrest. Jesus. You really are dumb as a post. |
