Americans Enjoying Final Days of Artificial Economy

Excerpt from NIA –(full article http://inflation.us/artificialeconomy.html)

 

Wal-Mart recently eliminated their "rollbacks" on grocery items in the U.S. Grocery prices at Wal-Mart rose by a shocking 5.8% in July from June. In fact, some items in Wal-Mart like a 36-ounce bottle of Windex and a 12-ounce box of Quaker Oats rose in price by 51% and 66% respectively in July over June. Considering that in 29 states, Wal-Mart controls more than half the grocery market, almost all Americans are beginning to feel the effects of massive price inflation.

With 70% of the goods sold in Wal-Mart made in China, NIA (National Inflation Association) believes that Wal-Mart's massive price increases for grocery items will soon spread to all other items sold. It is crystal clear for us to see what is ahead for U.S. prices of consumer goods, yet the mainstream media continues to talk about deflation. Cotton prices have surged 28% during the past two months to their highest level in 15 years. That alone guarantees higher clothing prices, but combined with the wage situation in China, Americans could see an unprecedented surge in clothing prices in the months to come.

A massive outbreak of price inflation is already taking place all around us, as Americans enjoy their final days of our artificial economy that is being propped up by China and Japan. Some people say China and Japan continue to buy and hold U.S. treasuries because of our overpowering military presence, but when they start dumping our treasuries and the bond bubble bursts, the U.S. military regime will come to an end.

Buy: food, guns, ammo, farmland, silver, hand tools

Sell: 401k (take a loan), bonds, CDs, dollar-based savings accounts

IF IT JUST SAVES ONE LIFE, GUN CONTROL IS WORTH IT…

How many times have you heard this
hypocritical excuse from the gun control crowd?
This emotional, but vacuous argument has no basis
in reality.
Why?
Because firearms are used daily to prevent
crimes – everything from murder to rape and
assault. According to criminologist Gary Kleck,
firearms are used defensively 2.5 million times
each year. Other estimates vary, but even gun
control advocates such as Philip Cook, who claim
Kleck’s number is inflated, estimate that “only”
80,000 to 82,000 defensive occur each year.
ONLY 80,000 to 82,000.
By contrast, in 2001, a total 29,573
firearms fatalities occurred in people of
all ages, according to the CDC. This
number includes defensive gun uses,
suicides, criminals shooting criminals
during the commission of a crime
and accidents.
You do the math!
