Inflation hitting housing, tuition, and medical services. Is the Fed reinventing another debt based bubble?

from MyBudget360.com:

Household income is a vital measure of the overall well-being for most Americans.  This is why it is important to try to understand why overall household incomes are back to levels last seen in 1995.  This is a critical barometer that measures the health of the US middle class.  Yet we continually see the argument that inflation is a good thing and since the CPI is registering such a low level [...]

SEQUESTER GESTURE: US ups support for UN

Wary of Smallpox Attack, U.S. Buys Up a Costly Drug

The United States government is buying enough of a new smallpoxmedicine to treat two million people in the event of a bioterrorism attack, and took delivery of the first shipment of it last week.
