hmmm, guess dentists and pharmaceutical companies aren't making enough money these days - need to up milk prices so everybody's teeth can go bad and osteoporosis gets worse.
Jeeez, when will the price hikes on EVERYTHING stop?
Don't worry, even though it will be a permanent increase, it is part of the "volatile food and energy" part of the CPI so it doesn't count as inflation.
With oil prices going to near $70/bbl on the rumors of a war with Iran, everything we buy will be going up and everyone's services will also go up because of their escalating overhead. You can thank the US Congress, particulary the Democrats, for banning drilling in coastal waters off Florida and California, and in ANWAR. If Clinton had been anything but Monica's boyfriend, all that oil would be pumping this morning and we wouldn't be paying through the nose for it now.
