Economic warfare is going to take on a whole new meaning in the 21st century.
I hope I live long enough to see the foreign debt get called in and the entitlement class trying to cash worthless monthly checks.
By that time pensioners will screaming too.
“Riots, protests and political unrest could multiply in the developing world as soaring inflation widens the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots”, an investment bank predicted yesterday.”
Let me be the first to say it...Bush’s Fault.
Time to elect Nobama...right?
“Economic warfare is going to take on a whole new meaning in the 21st century.”
We will lose big unless we become energy independent ASAP.
Drill for oil.
Why didn’t any of this happen under ‘Jimmuh Cahtah’ when interest rates were at 21%?
I read a report that negative reports on the economy get more reporting in an election year, mainly by lefty reporters when a Democratic may be reporting for duty in November. I’m just reporting on the reporters reporting reports.
The next gloom/doom problem thest the left will try to indicate that only centralized /one world government can fix. Like the UN produces peace and the USSR was able to provide food to all except the Georgians of course.
The New & improved Globull warming excuse.
And where do the Saudi’s get most of their food? They want higher prices for oil? I wonder how much the price of their food will go up? Something is going on that we don’t know about.
One thing to remember, if we dump oil into the salt caves, where are other nations, like China dumping their oil and why?
Duh, waht in the hell do they think the reason the Socialists have been doing the things that are causing the prices to get out of control for?
They need a revolution to take over.
Keep your powder dry folks.
“Oh no, oh no! We had better redistribute money to them before they hurt us...” /sarcasm
'Doomsday Dog' is never wrong! :)
That was my first thought too, but whether "Merrill urges governments to crack down on inflation" or not, a more disturbing idea is the fact that there are so many idiot freepers on this thread that actually believe "Governments must curb rising prices" in order to reduce "the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots".
Anybody here know of some kind of spray that gets rid of socialists?
Quite possible, but please excuse my cynical outlook of that happening even this time around. Having experienced the '70s oil embargo and gas rationing, our country had every reason then as now to make our nation and economy energy independent and for the following 30 years have failed miserably, in fact as far as the automobile industry is concerned, becoming even worse IMO, by the current glut of land yachts, SUV's, and power trucks currently flooding the highways.
We as a nation became collectively lazy and apathetic when the oil started flowing again and prices started dropping after the embargo, and quickly forgot the mess we were in during the crisis. With the mentality of self gratification and sense of entitlement this latest generation has grown to know, as fuel prices get higher and tempers get hotter this time around, it won't surprise me to see episodes of violence and chaos crop up in the not to distant future.
