We all know how dim of news the oil prices are, but what does Asia’s new inflation problem have to do with us? Think out sourcing. If inflation is high in Asia then the American companies that decided to ship their manufacturing overseas now have to pay more, not only in transportation from shipping costs, but now for the cost of doing business in Asia.

This global economy is coming back to really bite us in the ass, and it’s the people of this country that are paying. I don’t really see how it can easily be remedied either.
