Monetary policy takes into account the whole economy, not just the sectors you like.

True. But only if you are not allowed to change pricing. The value and pricing of goods and services is step-dependent on monetary matters and is adjusted outside the monetary sphere.

there is no shortage of oil, at all, now that we have fracking. that's why, dumbass, the price of gas is HALF what it was a couple of years ago. Explain that? have we printed LESS money?

 

[Bible_Belt]

The price of oil right now is most closely tied to projections about the Chinese economy, and how much the government has been lying about their numbers. When gas gets much below $2 per gallon in the US, fracking operations start to shut down, because they aren't profitable.

LOLLLLLL!!! WOW!!!!

This chart of yours only shows how energy is affected by inflation. WOW, you need serious education on economics.

So tell me....

1. What was the impact of "oil" in the Roman Empire and it's currency devaluation?
2. Why did only Zimbabwe recently get hit with inflation by oil, but no other countries?
3. Why is Venezuela currently experiencing the beginning part of oil hyperinflation, but no other country is?

Venezuela is dependent on exporting oil, dependent on socialism and opec is purposely over producing oil to stomp out competition and once they've succeeded they'll hike prices up again and sell all their surplus for top dollar.

Venezuela is feeling the effects of this and they deserve it for being socialists. People come into my work all the time (I'm a cashier) and I ask people where they're from. When they say Venezuela I crack a joke and say "no food there, I bet you love it here" and we both laugh and laugh.

Nope, it is caused by energy prices. Read the graph. It is supply and demand, pal. There's no energy shortage because the global supply has increased due to domestic oil. Every time there was an oil shortage, inflation shoots up.

You can't speak your falsehoods into existence.

To say only energy prices causes inflation is like saying only car accidents cause death.

 

[yuppee]

right on. the intellectual laziness of people is far worse than their physical laziness.

USPS lost $5,500,000,000 in 2014 (the most recent statistics available).,Operating revenue was $67.8 billion compared to $67.2 billion in 2013.

Are you just gonna keep repeating the same ole boolchit? USPS 'lost' money? Continuing to ignore the fact that USPS was cornered into bad policy by lobbying cuckservatives for private shipment companies forcing them to prepay pension and other benefits for at least 75 years? That's literally the only reason they're even in debt or have 'lost' money.

Sure. When items delivered continues to fall like a rock and revenue falls with it, blame 'expenses'.

That's wrong though, you're confusing correlation with causation. At best the cost of energy goods are just an okay 'forecast'.

Yawn... USPS does not pay out to share holders, it sells services to do its business, that's all. As long as it makes enough to continue doing that business, and being self sufficient, it's a success. Using "items shipped" as a metric of business success is shallow reasoning. For all you and I know, less mail being delivered = more people signing up for electronic statements, opting out of bull**** magazines, so on and so forth.

Fvckface.

fo all you and I know, less mail being delivered = more people signing up for electronic statements, opting out of bull**** magazines, so on and so forth.

Precisely.

So the PO is not 'making enough to continue doing that business'. This is what you call 'success'.

Thatfeel,

Any comment on the two items I left with you?

1. Your assertion that oil causes inflation, not money supply.
2. The fact that UPS sending work to the USPS is NOT socializing losses.

1. I didn't say that. Eyebrolling said energy prices caused inflation, I said no that's wrong, at best they're a so so forecaster, but they don't cause inflation.

2. I don't have further any comments about anything you have to say on that matter because it is socializing losses.

The bolded part is the funniest thing I have read all day. Asking the superdelegates to agree with the voting results in their state is overturning the will of the people. That's a good one. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ess-to-wrest-superdelegates-from-clinton.html

One anti-Clinton activist recently set up what he called the Superdelegate Hit List, a website housing contact information for the influential delegates – he later renamed it the Superdelegate List after complaints, but is still encouraging people to “find” these officials and “hold them accountable to our votes.”


Bob Mulholland, a longtime member of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton superdelegate, also recently published an open letter saying he’s heard complaints from colleagues about “getting harassing emails, Facebook postings and phone calls” demanding they support Sanders.

....Clinton’s team also has flipped the script on Sanders supporters, accusing them of “rigging the system.” Spokesman Brian Fallon told CNN that Clinton is winning the popular vote, and what Sanders is trying to do is “flip” superdelegates and “overturn the will of the people.”

NO government run biz makes money, twits. if it did, it wouldn't need to be and should not be run by govt.

The only reason it looks like Obama created jobs is because as a result of Obama's actions people in retirement couldn't afford to live so they had to get part time jobs. Most of the jobs he "created" are filled by people 55 or older and they're part time jobs.

Yep, every crappy 40/hr wk job is now a crappy 30/hr wk job so that big companies don't have to provide healthcare insurance. 40 hour weeks hardly exist any more, because managers are put on salary and expected to work 60-80 hours a week.

LOLLLLLL!!! WOW!!!!

No, you need help reading graphs. Oil pulls the CPI, not the other way around. It's called demand-pull inflation.

No, you need help reading graphs. Oil pulls the CPI, not the other way around. It's called demand-pull inflation.

So with oil down about 70% on price, where is the profound deflation?

 

[EyeBRollin]

Yes, actually we have. We cut the deficit by well over 200% since 2008, interest rates have remained at historic lows, and the price of oil has plummeted. We had deflation the last quarter of 2015, not inflation.

To say only energy prices causes inflation is like saying only car accidents cause death.

No, it's not. Energy prices cause inflation. Interest rates are adjusted to achieve the target inflation rate of 2%.
