RE :”As for food and oil price increases, why isn’t that due to increased demand?

That is explained in the title. Employment is down, yet food and oil prices are skyrocketing. The demand will come when more people are employed, then you will see serious inflation eventually killing the recovery.

Foreign demand for oil can account for its high price.

Food is high because of the ethanol subsidies, foreign demand, and weather setbacks.

What’s wrong with those explanations?
