ParticipantAt the time the stimulus was initally debated over year and half ago, nearly every economist supported some sort of large stimulus. Fiscal restraint during severe recession just prolongs recession. You can debate if all those “shovel ready” projects really shortened the recession or not. I guess no way to ever tell. By they way we are officially out of a recession, even though it doesn’t feel like it with the high unemployment. Unfortunately I bet we’re gonna double dip recession soon.

ParticipantInflation seem to be getting more popular press these days.
Experts seem to like to use the “core” inflation metric that excludes volatile food and energy. Problem is that those 2 are seeing big spikes.
Interesting side effect of high food commodity prices….unrest in emerging markets, particularly in the Mideast. Unrest Driving up oil prices, further driving up food prices as most food needs to go from distant farm to mouth.
