Wouldn’t triple food and double gas prices cause an increase consumer spending?

[teeman8r]

they mention the higher heating fuel costs fueled the increase in spending, yet they do not count the cost of gas in the inflation estimations... i am growing to hate my government... more and more.

The walls are closing in. Get ready, people. The big bang will be the stock market crashing by the end of 2013.

Looking thru the comments to the article at Hot Airm, I see that also.

And found this link to an article:

Hedge Fund Icon, Stanley Druckenmiller: "A Storm Is Coming, Maybe Bigger Than The Storm We Had In 2008, 2010."

***************************************EXCERPT**********************************

By Tyler Durden

Hedge fund icon Stanley Druckenmiller sat down with Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle, saying that he’s decided to speak out now because he sees "a storm coming, maybe bigger than the storm we had in 2008, 2010." His fear is that the ballooning costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid (which with unfunded liabilities are as high as $211 trillion) will bankrupt the nation's youth an pose a much greater danger than the debt currently being debated in Congress.  He said, "While everybody is focusing on the here and now, there's a much, much bigger storm that's about to hit... I am not against seniors. What I am against is current seniors stealing from future seniors." While not exactly Maxine Waters' sequestration-based 170 million job loss, this concerning interview is must-see for his clarity and forthrightness from who is to blame, to the consequences of gridlock, our society's short-term thinking, and the concerning demographics the US faces.

Good Interview...at the link....
