thanks for clearing up, I goofed on my read there I expect CPI to jump over 3% by end of this year from higher production costs, passed on easily from higher import prices, passed on with some difficulty the easy part about passing on costs, is that when everyone uniformly experiences the same higher costs then it is easier for them collectively to pass them on the exception will be for some producer to eat that higher incremental cost the harder part is distributors scrambling to maintain market share by eating the currency shift in their price structure to American buyers more competition here to hang onto mktshare this is nowhere near as big an issue inside the USEconomy where higher costs will be passed on to consumers the new arrival of bad inflation is not factored into any bond or gold models that I read about it is a critical piece to the USDollar Decline Vicious Circle in time, the USA economy will have the biggest such price inflation effect among the major industrial nations because we have the most bloated currency and compounded by our large foreign-held debt ALL PART OF THE DEBT WRITEDOWN ACROSS THE ENTIRE US ECONOMY / jim
