because it is cost inflation without final demand pricing
i.e. profit squeeze

which slows the economy
until China raises final product prices, this wil continue
but I believe China is soon to do just that
WalMart is the early warning signal, and they have begun

we all are comfortable calling higher energy costs an "economic tax" which slows the economy

the same is true for copper, steel, lumber, soybeans, eggs

we live in extraordinary times, where all major central banks are encouraging bond speculation, extreme leverage, Asian subsidies of the US Economy, etc

such a climate is nowhere conducive to higher rates
not yet, but they are coming
they are coming with a shitstorm
I SHUDDER WHEN I THINK OF WHAT IS COMING
STARTING ABOUT LATE SUMMER/AUTUMN 2004
ENDING ABOUT 2007-2008
