RE:"Inflation is a problem of too much money chasing too few goods, every time and everywhere. People always worry about the "too much money" part, but as long as the "goods" part keeps growing (i.e. GDP), inflation will be contained."... Last I heard they weren't making anymore land. (Except maybe on the big island of Hawaii). Skilled trade labor availability seems in short supply resulting in wage inflation. Inflation doesn't seem to be contained in a lot of areas. I take it you don't live in Silicon valley? Dollar is weaker, Asia recovering...both fan the falmes.. Jim

Harry: You be da' man. Plenty of goods out there. Oil being constrained by Cartel but I am paying .39 a head for lettuce after it is trucked all the way from CA to NH. Inflation in oil not flowing through to the market place. Too much competition (i.e. too many goods) to get away with passing small increment in transport costs along. Listening to the captains of industry from Boca Raton they all say business is great although they have limited pricing power if any at all but they seem to be satisfied with margins and sanguine about the future.
