OT/, Re: CPI & PPI, some new thinking on my part regarding the inflationary effect of medical care. Yes , it has been rising. However what I think may happen in the future, is that as much as Americans would like to drive a Cadillac ( full private health insurance ) for the price of a YUGO ( HMOs ), ultimately there is no free lunch in America. If all you can afford is an HMO, then that's what you'll have to get, until you can afford something better. The good thing for the future is that I think GWBush will try and bring changes in the system to make health care more affordable. In regards to CPI, the collapsing Asian/Japan market is likely to help cushion any price increases. Energy prices will likely stay the same and are counterbalanced by slowing economies and more exploration per GWB, TA
