Don't have to tell this little duck that inflation is rife in Australia. And the bigger the company, the less they show responsibility. Except that they resist any wage claims - offers that don't even keep up with current inflation. Thanks to the mess Howard and Costello left, we have a lot to repair.

The inflation genie is well and truly out of the lamp and with the Federal Reserve reducing their growth forecasts for the year yesterday, the U.S. and most western economies are now facing a nasty bout of stagflation. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article4798.html"><DIV>
Stagflation has arrived and yet there continues to be a ‘hear no evil, see no evil' and head in the sand attitude and a wishful thinking that these conditions will soon disappear and we can return to the “good” decade of the 1990's. While we all hope for such an outcome, the reality is likely to be much different as the benign financial and economic years of recent history degenerate into a far less benign and challenging financial and economic era. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article4798.html">
This new era will be marked by low or no growth and high inflation and gold and silver's finite qualities will come into their own again. Real diversification and risk aversion remains essential. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/34F7C473-3B37-4A29-A3C7-4E4EF328D302/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
