Consumer Inflation Up 0.4% in April. Worker Earnings Fall
I think it is more that puzzling, I think it is yet another indication that our lives are being "managed" by the Ultra Wealthy as they have never been before! Inflation, housing, credit, even access to news are now being "controlled" by Congress/Big Banks/Wall Street and most citizens are left to fend for themselves. During the Sixties, it was "Power to the People, Right Now", now in the "Teens", it is "More Power to the Ultra Wealthy, Right Now" but the rich are the only ones singing... The longer inflation stays very low the firmer the grip that the Ultra Wealthy have on both our Economy and everyones lives in America!— May 18, 2011 7:20 a.m.

Thank Goodness for digression... Like ice cream, without digression life is meaning less... BTW: The (BAD nuclear) news blackout about the global pollution thanks to the Japanese reactor disaster is news worthy IMO... Consider: Highly radioactive substances detected in Tokyo — Higher than what was found near Fukushima plant May 15th, 2011 at 01:11 PM http://enenews.com/highly-radioactive-substances-…... ...] highly radioactive substances were detected in parts of Tokyo. Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reports about 3,200 and nearly 2-thousand becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram were found in the soil of Tokyo districts of Koto and Chiyoda, respectively, from testing conducted between April 10th and the 20th. This amount is higher than what was found in the prefectures near the Fukushima plant and experts warn that other areas may be subject to radiation contamination as clusters of clouds containing radioactive material remain in the atmosphere.

Business is giving US the business If gun legislation is passed that will to me indicate the Wealthy are getting nervous about the economic divide.— May 14, 2011 7:47 a.m.

Consumer income is on it's way down toward peanuts and for most folks home ownership is but a past dream, since home loans are now almost impossible to qualify for!— May 13, 2011 11:08 a.m.

America is like Great Britain after they lost the Colonial War, America is on it's way down as a World Leader and the wealthy are hell bent on solidifying their position (and control) over the working masses!— May 13, 2011 11:06 a.m.

Sounds great if you are wealthy and want Wall Street and Big Banks to keep profiting on the backs of the middle class! Homes or stock investments they all both investments and taking money out of either just benefit a different group of business people! I'd rather the middle class get jobs and or Gov't financing to buy homes and start living the American dream again instead of the current American Fiscal Nightmare!— May 13, 2011 11:03 a.m.

This is just the first "tick" on the "individual" finance chart that will project doom for what is now left of the middle class... I think the real triple dip on housing prices is on it's way (if it is not here already) and here is why: Wall Street rules now and they want to make damn sure that Americans can NEVER use their homes as banks again... Remember the good old days when folks were buying and selling homes because they could make more money than investing in the stock market; well those days are GONE thanks to the cozy relationship between the Fed and Wall Street. Never again at least in our lifetimes will folks get to do that, as Wall Street and the Big Banks tag team the economy, while the Gov't. cheers them on! How bad can it get, how about home values one quarter to one-third of what they were at the peak of the market! That way even those home owners that have small mortgages at good rates will be "locked in" for the near future!— May 13, 2011 7:10 a.m.
U.S. Jobs Rise Sharply but Unemployment Rate Up
Its funny to me how folks get labels for trying to explain what is happening to the US when in fact it is alway a new mix that is the current cause of our problems!— May 10, 2011 8:20 a.m.
