I think this is a precursor to a trade/currency war. Tariff is not such a bad word in lots of countries, and money printing is easier for China/india/brazil then it is for us. So we either get a race to the bottom in currency valuation (Armageddon) or we get rising tariffs and there is nothing to buy because we don’t make crap (Armageddon).

Correct. But there will be pain. Lots of it. Even in Carmel Valley. Bernanke seemingly bought you CV homeowners a couple of years but when you go the grocery store and pump (soon) you will see the price you’ve paid for that. The frightening thing is that what he really wanted was have that house start going up in value again…not gonna happen without wages.

Nice eyechart 🙂

So, my question is, this survey…Which industries does it span? Because I’m curious.. How are my input costs drastically different now if in an industry that like software, with very input costs versus say airline industry which is heavily dependent on fuel?

I’m asking because if I poll 100 companies that derive 100% of their business in the U.S. and heavily dependant on raw goods and transportation…wouldn’t this look entirely different than if I polled 100 companies that were focused in say sw or services business or electronic media which doesn’t have nearly as much of these raw goods costs and predominantly derive it’s business overseas? Just asking because, because again I’m not an economist…. Just someone that likes to question polls/surveys and generalizations..

If you’re talking about general prices going up for things like fuel,food,etc that everyone well end up bearing…Yes, I would agree with you and everyone is going to feel the pinch on this…..
BTW: where did anyone say CV or RSF or any other area is going to be immune from this? What started us down this path was a generalization that “everyone” is hurting and “everyone” is seeing their wallets hurt.. “everyone” is having reduced income right now…
