    [ MIDLAND, Va. — The Labor Department's most recent inflation data showed that U.S. food prices rose by 4.2 percent for the 12 months ending in July, but a deeper look at the numbers reveals that the price of milk, eggs and other essentials in the American diet are actually rising by double digits.
    Already stung by a two-year rise in gasoline prices, American consumers now face sharply higher prices for foods they can't do without. This little-known fact may go a long way to explaining why, despite healthy job statistics, Americans remain glum about the economy. ]

    ####! Just something else to worry about.

    I don't know, how large numbered families are going to cope especially with these high rising prices.

    It's bad enough for me and my husband. I love MILK and drink quite a bit of it.:biggrin_25513: OR should say I DID!

    [ LONDON (Reuters) - World stocks took another dive on Friday despite early attempts at a rebound in Europe while currency dealers drove the Japanese yen to a 14-month high against the dollar, throwing out risky leverage.

    WiseOne's Comments, This is long in coming, the economy/stock markets are way too hot for no reason...it was baseless (like a skyscraper built on sand). It is reminiscent of the 1929 boom/crash. People have nothing holding them back and are using up our natural resources at ravenous levels. Credit is extremely overextended and savings are almost NONE. It is a perfect worldwide storm a brewin.
