Consumers are squeezed as inflation outpaces wages

Quote:
WASHINGTON – American families were squeezed last year as their inflation-adjusted weekly wages fell 1.6 percent — the sharpest drop since 1990 — even as consumer prices rose only modestly.
More good news under obamanomics.

The hits just keep coming for the workers of America and they are not likely to get better as long as obama's radical plans of tax and spend are on the table.

Yes this week's news has not been positive.

We'll see how the rest of the quarter unfolds.

Uh-huh. Sure.

Nope, inflation will be in check. Ben Bernanke told me so.

Link worked for me too.

Prepare for some rate hikes in the near future. It's coming in lock-step with inflation.

I don't see a recovery coming any time soon. News is not of a positive nature. You know what they need to freaking do, is AS YOUR NAME IS CLEANHOUSE.

The worst thing is that inflation hurts the poor most, as the rich can simply move their assets into something safe.
