Consumer Prices Rise at Fastest Pace in Quarter Century

Soaring food and energy costs pushed consumer prices up in June at the
fastest rate in a quarter-century, further pressuring households already
buffeted by rising joblessness, falling home prices and a sinking stock
market.

The 1.1 percent rise in prices between May and June was almost double
the rate of the prior month and helped push consumer prices up by 5
percent since June of last year -- a faster than expected rate that
could further complicate the choices confronting federal policymakers.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said yesterday in Congress that
inflation was a mounting concern, particularly given the escalation in
prices for crude oil, basic food items and other commodities.

But growth has also ebbed, and Bernanke yesterday deemed it a
"significant challenge" balancing between steps that might support
growth -- such as lowering interest rates -- and those that might
control rising prices.

Today's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics documented the trend:
Consumer prices overall are up 5.5 percent for the first half of the
year, measured on a seasonally adjusted annual basis, compared to a 4.1
percent jump in 2007. In the past three months alone, consumer prices
have jumped 7.9 percent on an annualized basis.

Energy costs accounted for much of that, jumping roughly 30 percent, on
an annualized basis, since the start of the year. Food prices also
continued their steady rise, increasing at an 8 percent annualized rate
during the past three months.

So-called core inflation -- which excludes food and energy -- was more
tempered, increasing at a 2.5 percent rate during the past three months.
But that was also substantially faster than the three months before.

"The June uptick in the core rate provides an early indication that the
tidal surge in energy and other commodity costs are trickling through to
consumer prices at large," Kenneth Beauchemin, U.S. economist for Global
Insight, said in a research note today.

The inflation trend as well as the outlook for economic growth means
that the Fed will likely not hike interest rates until 2009, he said.
"Indeed, the remote chance for financial disaster in the coming months
keeps a rate cut on the table," Beauchemin said.

Even though economists and some policymakers focus more on core
inflation, the jump in the cost of basic goods such as food and gasoline
still left consumers with less purchasing power. In a separate report,
the Department of Labor said real wages dropped by nearly 1 percent in
June, as the rise in prices more than offset a slight increase in wages.

That may undercut consumer spending, a mainstay of the U.S. economy, at
a time when growth is already at a crawl.

It's news, so it's being written about.

What's not often said is that the economic problems are global in nature
..... many believe due to a natural 75 year cycle.

Although tough to us by comparison of 10 years ago, the USA is actually in
better shape overall in terms of the general economy, unemployment, growth
rate, etc. than most of the rest of the free world. We still have the
lowest fuel prices other than the local prices in oil producing nations.

It will adjust naturally. And once focus is placed on increasing the value
of the dollar (with some risk to inflation), the USA's economy will come
around smartly.

You think the current economic problems are unique to the USA? Or that the
USA is responsible for the entire global economy? Our economy certainly
has an effect and influence, but it's also one of the reasons things aren't
worse worldwide.

I just love the narrow viewpoints expressed in the media. You really need to
stand back and think about it before you jump in and assume the sky is
falling. Forget the politicians. They only parrot what they think may
give their party an edge in November. Listen to the business people ...
those that run large corporations. They have a better handle on the true
state of the economy, it's problems, causes and cures.

Only problem is, while the US dollar is weak, foreigners are buying up
The U.S. When our economy revives, the results will go back to the
foreign investors. They will reap the rewards, not us. VW just
announced they are building a billion dollar plant in the U.S. They
are doing it because of the condition of the Dollar. It will provisde
some jobs, but the profits from their labors will be exported.

After you master Spanish, you need to start learning Japanese,
Chinese, and German, ASAP.



I agree. That's why the focus right now should be on building the value of
the dollar. Stop printing money.
There's the added risk of higher inflation, but it is the price to pay.

The politicians .... on both sides .... haven't got a clue.

Many (but not all) politicians have a clue. However, they are more
interested in getting elected by telling people what they want to
hear, or furthering an agenda that appeals to their financial
supporters.

Foreign manufacturers building plants in the US is not necessarily a
bad thing in my opinion. It greatly improves the local economy where
ever they are, and helps equalize the balance of payments by keeping
some of the imported goods money here.

Glen Beck! :) No wonder you are so f*cked in the head.

The solution is to get rid of a president who doesn't give a damn about
the economy, unemployment, the end of defined benefits, the price of
oil, et cetera, and make sure he is not replaced by a clone of his named
McBush McCain, and to give the Democrats a working majority in Congress.

With those solutions, some of our nation's many problems will be
addressed, and not ignored.

Oh... and once the Democratic majority in the Senate is substantially
larger, strip Lieberman of his committee leadership assignments and let
him caucus with his buddies in the GOP and be reassigned committees by
them. Maybe Lieberman and your buddy, Crazy Zell, can form a WWF Tag Team.

Ah yes - another day in the Land of Hopey Change and Changey Hope
where the obvious is not an option. Interviews with learned
politicians informing us that “drilling for oil” will not affect
anything, least of all the quantity of oil. Instead we have to wait
for 2020 when an engine designed to run on Unicorn farts will appear.

There is a catch however - we have to repent our foul ways. Only when
the last of the sinners has left suburbia to reside in a home located
a sustainable distance from his or her place of employment will Hopey
Change and Changey Hope be effective. Only then shall the
transformative Magic Unicorn Fart Engine appear.

When the Magic Engine that runs on Unicorn farts appears, all will be
well with the Earth, polar bears, the streets paved with gold and
Hopey Change and Changey Hope will enlighten all of humanity.
Universal peace, harmony and love.

So, indeed, let us turn out the evil overlords who would restrain all
the Unicorns. That would be a good thing though because Hopey Change
and Changey Hope will prevail.

I, for one, welcome the Unicorn and it's magical, environmentally
friendly farts which will create verdant fields of strawberrys,
raspberrys, blueberrys in an elysian fantasy of plenty.

Maybe Lieberman and Zell are nuts for actually saying there are problems.
And the Democrat controlled Congress, as LIED to us. They said they were
going to eliminate "Ear Marks". They have increased spending on fluff and
killing the dollar value since they got in.

I dont' see any reson why not?
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm thinking I'll make it!!

I hope I will. I scheduled a dental appointment.
I have one tomorrow... :)

Followed by a Korean lunch (my dentist is Korean and we always schedule
so we can do lunch after my appointment!) I haven't had pyung yang naeng
myun in a long time.

You wouldn't know a pyung from a yang if your naeng was bitten by a
myun. :)


I don't live in the boondocks of Connecticut. Even in New Haven, the
last time I was there, you could get decent Korean food. The dish in
question is great in the summer, because it is served cold and is not
spicy.

Stick with your ballpark franks and white bread...

I know more about Korean food that you ever did. And probably Thai
food as well.

Stick with your ballpark franks and white bread...

And you stay classy as always.

Careful with those denture jokes son. I got a mouth full of 'em. :)

Of course, now that you mention it, soft wheat noodles makes some
sense in context. :)

My dad always said getting dentures was the best thing that ever
happened to him - to hell with rotten painful teeth.
My grandma always said "Honey, take care of your teeth. These
dentures are a curse."
I listened to grandma because she called me "Honey."
Not missing too many - just the ones broken by beer bottle caps when I
temporarily forgot grandma's advice. Oh well.

Consumer Prices Rise at Fastest Pace in Quarter Century

It's news, so it's being written about.

What's not often said is that the economic problems are global in
nature .... many believe due to a natural 75 year cycle.

Although tough to us by comparison of 10 years ago, the USA is
actually in better shape overall in terms of the general economy,
unemployment, growth rate, etc. than most of the rest of the free
world. We still have the lowest fuel prices other than the local
prices in oil producing nations.

It will adjust naturally. And once focus is placed on increasing the
value of the dollar (with some risk to inflation), the USA's economy
will come around smartly.

Eisboch

Gawd, I just love these GOP rationalizations...

And a Democrat controlled Congress, with a 9% approval rating. As Glenn
Beck stated. Quit telling us the problems and who to blame, POTUS
candidates. Tell us solutions.

Glen Beck! :) No wonder you are so f*cked in the head.

The solution is to get rid of a president who doesn't give a damn about
the economy, unemployment, the end of defined benefits, the price of oil,
et cetera, and make sure he is not replaced by a clone of his named
McBush McCain, and to give the Democrats a working majority in Congress.

With those solutions, some of our nation's many problems will be
addressed, and not ignored.

Oh... and once the Democratic majority in the Senate is substantially
larger, strip Lieberman of his committee leadership assignments and let
him caucus with his buddies in the GOP and be reassigned committees by
them. Maybe Lieberman and your buddy, Crazy Zell, can form a WWF Tag
Team.



Maybe Lieberman and Zell are nuts for actually saying there are problems.
And the Democrat controlled Congress, as LIED to us. They said they were
going to eliminate "Ear Marks". They have increased spending on fluff and
killing the dollar value since they got in.


And as usual, you attack the messenger, instead of addressing the message.
