ParticipantFor kicks, just go ahead and google “food prices” or “sugar prices” or “cotton prices” or “orange juice prices”. While on one hand all of these commodities are intimately tied to oil, they were running up at a pretty fast clip prior to the latest hysteria.
Again, can anyone here tell me that the bill they get from wastewater services has gone down or is only 1% higher this year then it was a year or 2 years ago?
To me, and I am fairly simplistic, the squeezing from one bubble to another bubble to another bubble is obvious. We had stocks overvalued…pop… they seriously depreciated. We had real estate overvalued…pop… depreciated but so much of that securitized (yet depreciated) asset is still out there…so how does that play out… it plays out in the form of deflation? Okay that is fine… so your dollars may buy more of that overinflated asset but I don’t see it buying other commodities.
I do not believe the “demand” for water has skyrocketed so is it correct to say that the price increases we have seen is due to demand? I guess it could be argued that it is due to supply but remember your bill is also tied to sewage and wast collection. Maybe I am wrong and nobody else is experiences these price increases. I do tend to live in my own world.

You just made me laugh out loud!! You can go to http://www.ifluffnumbers.com and I have next weeks lottery numbers up there as well. If you think for one moment that inflation is dormant you may need a psychiatric evaluation.You’ll be riding your bicycle to the store to pick up your $10 gallon of milk and $7 loaf of bread by the end of year and you’ll still turn to your inflation data site thinking it’s a “whole lot of nuthin”. That’s just pathetic that you even put that link on here. They must have an app for that![/quote]
Totally weak reply… he brings data, you bring a personal attack. Raise the bar! If you think the data he cites is invalid, bring your own data to the table and explain why, don’t just call him names.[/quote]
Rich, I got the data, I just don’t have time to post it. And I don’t really call his information data.
Unfortunately my time is important with the kids especially on the weekends hence my 30 second (no data) verbal attack. The good news is I know you got my back. It is your forum for goodness sake :).
