Is U.S. Inflation Only 4- percent?

Is U.S. inflation only 4-percent? Is that possible. Let's take an "average" family in Ohio, say outside Cleveland. The man makes $40,000/year, and commutes 300 miles a week, in a 15-mph car, a small SUV. That's 20 gallons of gas, soon to be $5/gallon, or $100 a week, $400 a month. The wife works part-time, makes $20,000, watches the 2 children, pays $600/month daycare, when she can't, drives 20-miles a day, or about 150 miles a week, in a small car, 25-mph, or 24 gall a month, or $120/month. Then there is heating oil which is going to double, say for another $100 a month, including more expensive electricity for air conditioning. Say half of the gas is inflation, from $2.50/gallon. So they will pay about $310/month or almost $4,000 a year more, with an income of $60,000. So that is a direct increase of costs against income, of 7-percent. Add another 4-percent because of more expensive transportation of food and other goods by trucking that also uses gas. So this typical American family is facing 10 to 11-percent inflation, while the so-called official inflation is only 4-percent.

That's why the real crash is here. Plus, because of the crash of real estate, mortgages and housing prices, their home equity value has gone down.

I Want to Get Away, Airlines can't fly me

I want to get away;
But, there's no airline to fly;
Yeah, Yeah!
The infrastructure's gone;
Yeah, Yeah!

(spoof; I want to get away)

Yes the infrastructure is being destroyed. the American airlines, after years of ridiculous competition and deregulation are shutting down, consolidating and merging. You can't fly to Toledo, Ohio and 100 other cities on Continental, or in many cases, any other airlines. The high oil price was just the last nail in the coffin. and why we need a New Bretton Woods and a new F D Roosevelt infrastructure program.

Hey Hey We're the British Oligarchy

Hey hey, we're the oligarchy;
People say we don't exist;
But now that the system's crashing;
Yooh, we're getting really pissed;

Hey, hey we're the British;
London banks are still are home;
We run finance from the offshore;
We like to pretend to be the queen's drones;

(Hey, Hey We're the Monkees, the Monkees, Spoof)

As the oligarchy runs the price of oil up and now more and more, food prices, it seems that Prince Phillip, George Soros, Al Gore and other British, or Anglo-Dutch agents are coming out of the closet. Like George Orwell said in his anti-hero book, "1984" the idea is to rule the world from little tiny islands like the Cayman Islands, fifth biggest financial center in the world, OK? That is why there are riots in Argentina, against the government there, trying to RAISE food production.

Lehman the Next to Bite It

Yes, the stock of Lehman Bros. has been going down and they could be the next to bite the dust. And it is coming soon. The MBS, Mortgage Backed Securities situation is getting worse and worse. The oil price situation may go down soon, it is a question of guts. If the Saudis announce that they are producing another million barrels a day, then things will shock the speculators. Really, the whole system needs a bankruptcy reorganization.

Death of a Lehman Bros.

The coming DEATH of Lehman Bros. is an orgy about to happen. It is about to join Bear Stearns in the collapse cloud in the sky. It died from many things, including the MBS, Mortgage Backed Securities, the main dispute is the manner and method of execution, so that Lehman, along with its favorite pimp, Felix Rohatyn, can have a good and comfortable death.

Having Lehman's stock drop to 1/100 of its previous value and then being bought up with Federal Reserve money by one of the big players, like what happened to Bear Stearns is a possibility, but it would not be the one that the players want. Too many corpses are being left out on the front door step, and it still costs money that eventually, allegedly has to be paid back.

But, more exciting may be to have the Federal Reserve itself by up and masticate on Lehman. That already is what the Bank of England did with the bank and real estate firm known as Northern Rock. Isn't that exciting, nationalization is about to hit neo-con America.

Samuel Bodman is a Disgusting Slut

Yes, Samuel Bodman is a disgusting slut. At the meeting of G8 energy chiefs in Japan, he did his best to make sure that oil prices go over $150 a barrel. He knows he's a disgusting slut. He is covering for the London Oil speculators, and instead blaming rising oil prices on India and China. What a disgusting slut. The real estate money from the collapsing Mortgage Backed Securities game has gone into the commodities market to determine whether you live or you die. That is the short answer to why the economy is being destroyed, till we get a stabilized monetary system and some great projects built.
