I don't see anything going down in my area.

Gas just went up again (regular). From $3.81 to $3.87 at the Hess, and that's the cheapest here.
We've seen it for as much as $3.93.

Lower prices — or at least a break in their steady rise — will come as a big relief. Consumer prices rose 3.2 percent for the year ending in April, the most since October 2008. Higher food and gas prices drove the gains.

Excluding those two categories, prices rose 0.2 percent in April.

I think Mr. Sunshine just has his head so far up obama's rump he can't tell what's what anymore.

Did you really just say that?

Want to know a few more things that are ending?
The war in Iraq
The war in Afghanistan
Gitmo
High insurance premiums
High health care costs
High unemployment rates

No one has said they have ended, but are moving in the right direction.

Oh wait, none of those are ending.
Funny how you want to claim it is ending when the title of the article says it may be peaking.

Oh, by the way, the title of the news article is "Consumer inflation may be peaking, economists say". Last I looked, the board rules say you are supposed to use the actual title of the news article for the thread title, not make sh!t up.
Maybe an unbiased mod will notice that.

The title said "peeking". The first sentence of the article said "over". I said "ended". That's an issue that needs mod intervention? Don't they all mean they same thing in the context of the story?

Produce prices are dropping around here and other food prices should follow when lower gas prices kick in.

Business are hiring at the fasted pace since 2006. The dow has recovered and continues to rise. People who lost so much in the crash are getting back what they lost.

The tide has turned and the economy is strengthening. I think the next month or two will tell us if this recovery will continue to gain strength or will fizzle out. Economist say we're on the way up. I hope they are right.
