ENERGY, FOOD COSTS BALLOON -- WHY? |
[as found on the 'net]
ENERGY, FOOD COSTS BALLOON US INFLATION
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer 35 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed inflation
up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices generally
remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile, industrial output
was flat in December, more evidence of a significant slowdown in the
economy.
Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of 2007, up sharply from a
2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
Consumers felt the pain when they filled up their gas tanks or shopped
for groceries. Prices for both energy and food shot up by the largest
amount since 1990.
In a second report, the Federal Reserve said that output at the nation's
factories, mines and utilities showed no growth in December, adding to a
string of weak economic reports showing that the economy was slowing at
the end of last year.
That weakness has shown up in the biggest one-month jump in unemployment
since the 2001 terrorist attacks and billions of dollars in losses at
many of the country's biggest financial institutions. Citigroup Inc.
reported Tuesday it had suffered a $10 billion loss for the last three
months of 2007, reflecting bad bets on investments backed by subprime
mortgages.
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged by 277 points on Tuesday and
fell even further on Wednesday as Intel reported weak earnings for the
fourth quarter. The Dow was down by 26 points in late morning trading.
The unchanged industrial output in December was the poorest showing
since industrial output actually fell by 0.5 percent in October. Output
had been up by 0.3 percent in November.
The December weakness reflected flat output at U.S. factories, a tiny
0.1 percent rise in the mining industry and a 0.2 percent drop at the
nation's utilities.
The Consumer Price Index rose by 0.3 percent in December, slower than
the 0.8 percent in November, as food costs were flat for the month and
energy prices rose by 0.9 percent after an even bigger 5.7 percent jump
in November.
<clip length>
The CPI report showed that the 4.1 percent increase in overall prices
was the biggest since a 6.1 percent jump in prices in 1990.
Energy costs rose by 17.4 percent this past year while food costs rose
by 4.9 percent. Both were the biggest increases since 1990. Gasoline
prices were up 29.6 percent, the biggest increase since they soared by
30.1 percent in 1999.
<clip>
Workers' wages failed to keep up with the higher inflation. Average
weekly earnings, after adjusting for inflation, dropped by 0.9 percent
in 2007, the biggest setback since a 1.5 percent fall in 2005.
[endit]
Everything in modern economy is affected by the cost of fuel and energy.
As the world's energy producers face "Peak Oil" and the fact that the
supply of oil will no longer grow to meet the demands, the price of oil
will soar -- and with it the price of everything else.
"Oil Depletion" is just one of the signs of the approaching end.
"...upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth..." Luke 21:25-26

In response to your reply -- is is sad to note that you are so simple
minded that you believe the political parties who controls the US
government are independent, or in any way different. They are two sides
of a single conspiracy -- both owned and operated by the wealthy. Only
the blind can believe that these political parties can and do control
the world's economy.
There is none so blind as one who will not see.

JERRY
Once again you think you are correct and you are far more simple than
I. The differences between the two parties would fill a book and I
can only put some in here.
The Republican Party, for all it's talk about common folk, push
economic policies that remove the overall tax burden from people who
have much, much more money than they can ever spend and instead put
that tax burden on those who struggle to pay their bills every month.
Trickle down economics has *never* worked and the only thing it's good
for is to make more money for the people who already have it.
The Democratic Party wants a more equitable tax setup which has been
shown to work.
The Republican Party thinks that the Interior is something to be
exploited for short term financial gain.
The Democratic Party believes that our forests and natural resources
need good stewards to make them available for many future generations,
The Republican Party believes in torture.
The Democratic Party believes torture is morally and ethically wrong.
The Republican Party believes old white men have a right to tell women
how they must live their lives and use their bodies.
The Democrats believe that the old white men have no right to tell
others how to live.
The Republican Party believes that they have a right to tell people
what is acceptable conduct between consenting adults in the privacy of
their bedroom.
The Democratic Party believes that the old white men need to mind
their own goddamned business and stay out of other people's bedrooms.
The Republican Party believes they have a right to interfere between a
doctor and patient, and that private insurance companies have the
right to decide who lives and dies based upon what they want to pay.
The Democratic Party believes that all people are entitled to quality
health care.
My statement is a simple statement that I can back up with a number of
facts that will support my claim.
You think you want to hear them?
There is none so blind as one who will not see.
JERRY
That pretty much sums up xtians like yourself, Glenn.

You suffer from delusion, and can't tell fact from fiction.
JERRY
Says the man who is unable to prove me wrong ...
When you choose to believe something, no one can prove you wrong because
you believe what you wish.
JERRY
Yep, that pretty much sums you up, Glenn.
Are going to deny that you believe what you wish to believe?
No, I didn't think so.
JERRY
I believe what I can show by the evidence, Glenn.
You believe "the evidence" is correctly and accurately described.
Actually, you select the description and interpretation of the evidence
which supports what you already believe. You suffer from delusion.

ENERGY, FOOD COSTS BALLOON US INFLATION
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer 35 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed inflation
up by the largest amount in 17 years, even though prices generally
remained tame outside of those two areas. Meanwhile, industrial output
was flat in December, more evidence of a significant slowdown in the
economy.
Consumer prices rose by 4.1 percent for all of 2007, up sharply from a
2.5 percent increase in 2006, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
Consumers felt the pain when they filled up their gas tanks or shopped
for groceries. Prices for both energy and food shot up by the largest
amount since 1990.
In a second report, the Federal Reserve said that output at the nation's
factories, mines and utilities showed no growth in December, adding to a
string of weak economic reports showing that the economy was slowing at
the end of last year.
That weakness has shown up in the biggest one-month jump in unemployment
since the 2001 terrorist attacks and billions of dollars in losses at
many of the country's biggest financial institutions. Citigroup Inc.
reported Tuesday it had suffered a $10 billion loss for the last three
months of 2007, reflecting bad bets on investments backed by subprime
mortgages.
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged by 277 points on Tuesday and
fell even further on Wednesday as Intel reported weak earnings for the
fourth quarter. The Dow was down by 26 points in late morning trading.
The unchanged industrial output in December was the poorest showing
since industrial output actually fell by 0.5 percent in October. Output
had been up by 0.3 percent in November.
The December weakness reflected flat output at U.S. factories, a tiny
0.1 percent rise in the mining industry and a 0.2 percent drop at the
nation's utilities.
The Consumer Price Index rose by 0.3 percent in December, slower than
the 0.8 percent in November, as food costs were flat for the month and
energy prices rose by 0.9 percent after an even bigger 5.7 percent jump
in November.
<clip length>
The CPI report showed that the 4.1 percent increase in overall prices
was the biggest since a 6.1 percent jump in prices in 1990.
Energy costs rose by 17.4 percent this past year while food costs rose
by 4.9 percent. Both were the biggest increases since 1990. Gasoline
prices were up 29.6 percent, the biggest increase since they soared by
30.1 percent in 1999.
<clip>
Workers' wages failed to keep up with the higher inflation. Average
weekly earnings, after adjusting for inflation, dropped by 0.9 percent
in 2007, the biggest setback since a 1.5 percent fall in 2005.
[endit]
Everything in modern economy is affected by the cost of fuel and energy.
As the world's energy producers face "Peak Oil" and the fact that the
supply of oil will no longer grow to meet the demands, the price of oil
will soar -- and with it the price of everything else.
"Oil Depletion" is just one of the signs of the approaching end.
"...upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth..." Luke 21:25-26
On energy and food prices; I've heard from separate sources (outside
USA) that farmers are turning more to biofuels as the demand
increases.
Cheers.
Um ... once the oceans are whaled out by 'research' ships, attention
will probably turn to the seals until there are 7 left which ...
um ....... nah forget about it :-)

Yes, there is a lot of that going around...
....problem is, "biofuels" (or hydrogen or solar or wind or coal) will
not replace oil.
Um ... once the oceans are whaled out by 'research' ships, attention

Ummm... the first three seals have already been opened.
The fourth seal is next, and that includes nuclear warfare.
