  is looming. The specter of stagflation - or stagnant economic growth combined with inflation - is a growing concern among economists.  The last time the U.S. economy went through a severe bout of stagflation was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Steve Andrews, vice president of capital markets at Sovereign Bank in Boston, said he’s

  Yippee. Record growth and low unemployment. Too bad they were only good times for a few. With consumers responsible for 70% of the US economy, who will be consuming when there's no money left over to consume? Will the Democrats stand up to the lame duck and unpopular president or will they roll over, again? We are in a different economic era

• Bernanke happy to sacrifice middle class to benefit Wall Street

  Oh great. He's ready to do whatever it takes to help out Wall Street who are loving his rate cuts (i.e. free money) and his puppet-like behavior.

  which was a nasty inflation (stagflation) report courtesy of high energy costs. Oil hit yet another new high, breaking through the $101 figure. Looking at the trends in oil, while it could drop back into the $80s though realistically, there is little preventing another climb. Just about anything can make the prices go back up (Turkey invading

  So we’ll have horrible stagflation for all of 2008, but Ben Bernanke will make 2009 wondrous! The Fed has already cut rates 2.25 percentage points since September, and Bernanke’s constant harping about “downside risks” (read: horribly flawed American economy) indicates there’ll be more in the future.

  As long as you don't use oil. Or buy food. Or buy anything that has been produced outside of the US. If you do, then you will be feeling the new record high oil prices courtesy of incompetent Republican economic plans and pro-Wall Street policies by Bernanke at the Fed.
