<dumping Dollar is really causing massive imported inflation>

Of course USD has been pegged or roughly pegged against our primary suppliers, so there has been no dump where it counts (yet). There's talk of that changing now.

Import price inflation in Nov. was 0.4%, 0.2% in Dec. Not exactly disinflation IMO.

Meanwhile another of the "except" groups, industrial goods are starting up again; up 29% yoy.

Low US wages are the essence of Greenspanism and Republican economics in general according to financier Henry Liu.

"Pugnacious policy: ship jobs, keep unemployment high
Thus according to Greenspan, keeping asset prices high and product prices low is now the sworn aim of the central bank. Of course, the largest component in low product price is low wages and the largest component in high asset price is also low wages. The combination adds up to one thing, low wages at all cost. And how do you keep wages low? Ship jobs overseas and keep domestic unemployment high. This is the pugnacious economics of Greenspanism"

This really cuts to the heart of the all the BS we getting form Wall Street.
