Inflation at the wholesale level rose more than expected in September as prices for everyday necessities remain at a multi-decade high, squeezing businesses and millions of American households. The Labor Department said Wednesday that its producer price index, which measures inflation at the wholesale level before it reaches consumers, rose 0.4% in September from the previous month. On an annual basis, prices soared 8.5%. Those figures were both higher than the 8.3% headline figure and 0.3% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists, a worrisome sign for the Federal Reserve as it seeks to cool price gains and tame consumer demand

As usual, wholesale inflation figures were higher than expected. Surprise!

Got news for you. That number isn't going down anytime soon. I sell products to businesses in a specific market. Prices on the daily needs are going up quickly --- to us and ultimately to them. Businesses can only absorb so many price increases before they have to be pushed to the purchaser.

Irresponsible government spending is the core problem, $14 TRILLION-plus since 2020. Add to that irresponsible pursuit of "green" sustainability (which clearly is a hoax) and the needless destruction of commerce during the COVID hysteria, the growing sloth due to support programs of increased free sh-tuff to an increased eligibility pool...and here we are. Those of us who lived through the last great era of inflation know how this unfolds. Government trots out experts to tell how this is all coming to an end soon, transitory in nature, and politicians deliver the bi-partisan message that this is the other guys' fault. The expert most heard from is "Rosy Scenario", who sees light at the end of that famed long tunnel at every opportunity - except it's an hallucination. The boobs fear the medicine necessary to curb inflation, and whine years later when the bank won't sell them ten percent CDs. It took more than 15 years to get inflation under control. It has never been tamed. That 1967 dollar lost two-thirds of its value by 1983. Today that dollar is worth eleven cents in purchasing power. What are you paying for a 10 cent soft drink these days?

Only unexpected because the people in charge are totally incompetent and think we are stupid enough to fall for their term "Unexpected". The people on welfare don't care or understand. All they will notice is they run out of booze money sooner.

FJB does not care. He caused this inflation day one of his faux presidency, by cancelling Keystone Pipeline and suspending or cancelling oil and gas development. This was the Dem plan all along catering to their socialist green agenda. The loss of assets by average Americans is not recoverable. Dollars that we may have been able to retain are worth so much less. Vote the bastards out in such numbers to overcome the Margin of Cheat!

I think that Federal deficit spending and interest rates affect big purchases like cars and houses, but I think that the price of smaller items like groceries, hardware, lumber and auto parts, are more strongly influenced by production and transport costs, which are heavily influenced by fuel costs. I think that the cost of most items will rise until they are back in the same relative proportion to the price of gasoline and Diesel fuel as they were before the price of gas and Diesel made the 'Biden Price Jump'.

NBC News found itself facing accusations of both partisanship and insensitivity this week after reporter Dasha Burns interviewed John Fetterman for his first extended sit-down interview since suffering a stroke earlier this year. (Snip) And Burns was far from the only journalist to share that analysis. CBS’s Ed O’Keefe ponderingly tweeted about whether “Pennsylvanians [will] be comfortable with someone representing them who had to conduct a TV interview this way?" The resulting wave of anger was immediate and two-folded. Burns and NBC (as well as others who shared the opinion) found themselves caught in the middle of two arguments: firstly

Inflation clocked in worse than expected at 8.2% for the 12 months ending in September according to the consumer price index, bad news for the country’s economic health. The much-anticipated numbers reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday revealed that while it ticked down by one-tenth of a percentage point, inflation is still higher than anticipated and defying the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes. Worse, "core inflation," which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose sharply in September. On an annual basis, it rose to a whopping 6.6%, the highest since 1982.

With the November election just weeks away, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is dealing with an unusual political problem. She has become a star on the national political stage. But in her own state -- where she has proved in recent presidential and Senate contests that she can get out the vote for Democratic candidates -- she is struggling to gain momentum for her rematch with Republican Governor Brian Kemp. One problem is tepid enthusiasm among a key segment of the Democratic base: Black men. One-third of Black men registered in Georgia haven’t voted in the past several elections, with pollsters

Ukraine - The past few hours have seen wave after wave of explosions, not just here in Kyiv, but all across this vast country, from Lviv in the west to Kharkiv in the east and Odesa in the south. For those of us who were here when Russia's full-scale invasion began in February, there's an element of déjà vu. We've been told to spend as much time as we can in the basement, as further attacks, using missiles and drones, are expected. But this is also different.

President Joe Biden and top administration officials are seeking to downplay the decision from OPEC+ to cut daily oil production by 2 million barrels after steadily decreasing domestic gas prices boosted the president and Democrats' electoral odds heading into the midterm elections. The decision comes shortly after Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia, where the president met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and asked Saudi officials to ramp up production as a means of easing global energy prices amid the war in Ukraine. Publicly, the White House is putting on a strong face in responding to the new cuts. Biden

A week after proposing to levy a new tax on oil companies, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday called for state legislators to convene in Sacramento for a special session in December to hammer out the plan. In response to a historic surge in gas prices in the Golden State, Newsom last week proposed a tax on oil companies to fund rebates for California taxpayers getting squeezed at the pump. During a press gaggle on Friday, the Democratic governor announced the special session for Dec. 5 — about a month after dozens of new lawmakers will be elected to office. Newsom

First Lady Jill Biden offered a rare personal glimpse into her views on abortion during a political fundraiser in San Francisco on Friday, retelling the story of how her mother helped care for a teenage friend who got an abortion 60 years ago. Biden, who was 17 at the time, said her friend didn’t want to be pregnant, but learned that a doctor would only perform an abortion if she underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was declared mentally unfit. It was the late 1960s, before the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, and abortion was illegal in Pennsylvania, where she

When gas prices rise, it instantly fuels political rhetoric about price gouging and the need to help motorists pay at the pump. It’s as automatic as pushing the starter button and hearing the engine crank up. As California prices surged in recent days, Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed that he wanted to retaliate against oil moguls by imposing a windfall profits tax and returning the money to drivers. “Crude oil prices are down. Oil industry profits are up. Yet gas prices in CA have increased by record amounts. It doesn’t add up,” the governor tweeted. “We’re not going to stand by

Pennsylvania's election laws have historically required voters to include a signature and date on the outside of return envelopes when voting by mail. However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.
