Yeah...the commodities market is killing us domestically. China and India are in this market big-time, along with oil (China is filling it's own strategic petro reserves - to be completed in 2010 instead of the decades most countries take ), and prices continue to skyrocket. Market speculation on futures has also provided a large influence upwards.
To follow in the near future will be the increases brought about by our own legislatures and congress passing more laws, as Paul mentioned. |
