The Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures inflation at the wholesale level, rose 8.6% year-over-year as of October, growing at a record rate for a second straight month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced Thursday.

That’s my take also.

It will wind up totally killing Social Security in five years.

Inflation is just getting started.

The country voted for this disaster and is about to get a painful lesson in economics.

The painful lesson will be what happens when inflationary expectations kick in throughout the economy.

The psychology of inflation has not been seen for fifty years—it is gonna shock everyone who did not experience it during the Carter years.

This is more than economics—this is what happens when people panic and start dumping money in favor of goods.

A lot of people are going to get badly hurt by this sudden increase in inflation. We are already in an asset bubble of historic proportions, and now we are about to experience powerful inflationary forces.

Its time to start taking precautionary measures to protect yourself as best you can. This could go on for quite awhile.

Hopefully, we'll get an increase in our chocolate ration.....

Whatever the CPI turns out to be the White House (and its allies in the media) will say its good and beneficial.

Get ready for ration tickets. Shortages will become a way of life in the new USSA.

Too late, everybody died last month.

Good News: Stole gas for $2.94.9 (40 cent discount at City Market.

Bad News: Hamburger was $7.50 a pound, yikes.

So are energy shortages. As is unchecked immigration.

There is only one way to stop it—and the Fed would have to crash the test-dummy economy right through the windshield to do it.
