[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Massive Inflation on the Way?

Posted: 8/31/2005 3:46:15 PM EDT

Gasoline prices above $3.00 gallon and possibly higher may cause inflation as experinced in the early 1980s. This may cause long-term interest rates to increase significantly. If that happens, goodbye housing market as nobody will be able to afford housing in this country at interest rates over 7 to 7.5%.

Anybody else see this trainwreck coming?

Temporary blip. The sky fell in NOLA, not everywhere else and this is a big country.

A possibility. We'll see how long the fuel prices stay up.

Another possibility is that people stop buying consumer items when the prices go up leading to a recession even when the fuel prices come back down.
