Thanks Clintonfatigued.
That is how Obama will beat out Carter. Wages went up with the Carter inflation. With Obama it will be more”Diverse”. Wages down inflation up.
-——Wages down inflation up.-——
I would argue unions like inflation. Their complaint has been no raises in umpteen years.
If a rising tide raises all boats, unions can get raises and claim success. The unwashed hoards believe the union line because they are ignorant. All they know is they are making more money
The fact the raises lag the inflation ceases to matter once the raises are in place
I understand the problem, but how will they eat? Gold is not the solution and a global currency is only a prescription for a bigger disaster.
My expectations are a run of Fed induced inflation, followed by a deflationary collapse. The blind "Globalist" in both parties have done this to us. Arrogant Bastards.
If only that were always true. Wage-inflation is often one of the main causes of general inflation. A vicious circle is created, with wage rises driving inflation, followed by inflation driving the demand for wage increases. Perhaps, diminishing unionization makes this less of a problem, than it used to be.
Where is the liquidity? The last time I heard the velocity of money was at an all time low.
If you don’t have the bucks, you cannot pay the high prices.
Cost push on food prices is here from fuel, bad foreign food harvest due to weather (drouth and floods), high grain prices and the coming effects of HR2749/S.510/HR2751 FDA Food Takeover Bill.
Wage inflation does not cause inflation. There is only one cause of inflation, that is an increase in the money supply. Without an increase in the supply of money a wage increase in one place just means a decrease in another. As long as either banks keep making loans on a fractional deposit policy or the Fed keeps printing fake money we will have inflation.
Deflation happens when lending institutions quit loaning money. When loans are paid off and the Fed doesn’t print money to replace it there is a decrease in the money supply, deflation. Actually the Fed can also create deflation by increasing the amount of the fractional deposits at their banks must keep in the Federal Reserve System.

Liquidity Trap...the Fed is out of bullets.
The money is out there but it is not in the hands of wage earners. Our wonderful government leaders made sure that the fake money that was printed went in the hands of people that could give it and other democrats a cut of it during the election cycle. The big banks and other financial institutions are sitting on a pile of money that they don't know what to do with.
If people would start buying houses some of that money would end up in the hands of spenders and then we would only have an inflation problem. People that can't afford food and gas won't even think about buying a house. I'm worried about a whole lot more than inflation. Our government will see this as an excuse to take over all of the economy and most of our freedoms to do things you won't be able to believe but that many people will beg for. Things are not looking good for our good old USA.
“Food Inflation”
Yep, due to foreign crop failures, high fuel prices, high grain prices due to drouth, floods, abnormal cold weather and the coming horrors connected with the passage of HR2748/S.510/HR2751 FDA Food Takeover Bill. In my opinion that alone could increase food cost by 25% this year.
We were sold out to Global Ag during the Lame Duck Session in the name of food safety. They were saying that foreign terrorists intended to poison our food supplies from Central and South America.
It is time for a home garden again. This is the year...
Hungry homeless desperate people do extreme things.
The elitist should think again if that is the strategy.
When all else fails, a country boy can survive.
I still know how to do that, but that strategy made no sense in my lifetime. My family had experienced that problem twice before, and I understand what happened then.
Actually, most in the private sector are dead on the floor...if they still have jobs....
Stagnant wages, slashed or eliminated benefits, no health care, reduced hours, millions unemployed, the constant threat of being fired if ya don't work harder for less.
Meanwhile, government employees retire at 50 years old, with tax paid lottery style medical benefits and pensions.
The American private sector has been gang raped.
I think lower productivity numbers are the result of busineeses and work shops being cut to an absolute minimum, but not having enough work to fully employ the remaining people. I.e. If a process takes a minimum of three workers to run, but they only have enough work to keep them busy 80% of the time, then they cannot improve productivity until the workload increases.
