China has run up food prices. Political instability has led to higher fuel prices. However, there are few other indicators of inflation.
With banks holding myriads of foreclosed homes, with Greece and other countries close to going belly up, there are more ominous signs that could lead to deflation. The economy is not out of the 2008 woods yet. The spectre of deflation is the real bad news.
@spark300c Farmers will grown more - the problem is we (American citizens) will not be able to buy the food with our worthless dollars. Our farmers will sell to the people who can pay the most - and that'll be the Chinese. If you have a yard, plant some fruit trees - while you can still afford to buy them...
This dumb idiot was telling people to purchase banks just prior to the crash as well as just after.
He also didn't believe that there would be a housing crash in 2005. He's a moron.
The reason that there is inflation is that the money the banks are supposedly hording, isn't being horded - the money is being invested, in commodities.
Ben Stein doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Inflation is solely a monetary phenomenon. Rising food prices due to increasing demand is NOT inflation.
@oneguy23 Demand is infinite, its the availability of all this new money that allows them to demand goods and bid up prices. I agree Ben Stein has been wrong alot in the past, but at least this piece seems to be correct.
@GaryVolts granted..demand is infinite, but supply must be equilibrium in order to have fair stable prices...its when the money supply outstrips the production of the underline goods and services then you have inflation.
@oneguy23 um that's one of three subsets of inflation, specifically called "Demand-Pull Inflation", so it is, in fact, by definition: inflation, nice try though
@liberteaman Yep he sure was now more than ever , M.P global just went bankrupt and the price of everything is way up ben got schooled by peter to bad , he thought there was a recovery ,some people just can't read between the lines.
All the items in this economy that the Government subsidizes are becoming more expensive; energy, food, entertainment, cell phones, yet the government claims that there is no inflation. Ben Stein is no clown. Herb Stein Gertrude Stein are his parents. Calling him a clown isn't quite sufficient. Is there something wrong with doing advertisements, especially if you have credibility and the service is reputable (credit scores). I appreciate his wit .
@raycedayze Ummm Ben Stein is the son of Mildred Fishman, Gertrude Stein would have had to have him at 70 years of age for ben to be her son. Nice try though.
This guy sucks!Ben stein He and fox network been Denying this fact for 2 years and now he announcing the obvious like he a Pro economist. You would trust this guy about your money?Does he not do that visine commercial ?
This is a clear sign that this world needs Sarah Palin as our next President for she will implement Palinomics! Only Palinomics has the power to completely fix this economic mess and keep inflation under control! Palinomics will also drive unemployment down and create record numbers of jobs never before seen.
Call it what you want but I call it a result of peak oil it is the reason they intentionally crashed the economy.Jimmy Carter dropped the speed limit to 55 when we needed to conserve fuel and they crucified him todays leaders know you have to do things underhanded and make it look like something else but not a politician telling you that you must slow down and save fuel so they crash the economy place many workers out of work reduce fuel usage.
He's absolutely right. I trade the markets and have been watching this unusual trend for some time. You rarely see high unemployment coupled with high inflation rates. It's a very bad sign.
The fed needs to stop printing money and the gov needs to do some serious cutting back or we'll be in for times like we've never seen in recent history.
@DoctorDoubleX Just b/c you lack the intelligence to formulate a response to what he said in this clip, doesn't mean you have to leave your IQ calling card.
@superset5 People that comment listen to this clown. I think it's refreshing to hear someone speak their thoughts even if unpopular. Ben is obviously more interested in speaking the unpopular rhetoric since I've seen him numerous times warning his fellow Americans about the economy
its about to get worse, now wage increases aren't keeping up with inflation increases, which will inhibit consumers from spending.

* 20 -20% unemployment is not a small percentage. (Don't tell me 9%! That is a tampered number)
*32 million americans with families of 4 making less than 22,000 a year is not a small percentage.
*33% of households not being able to make their mortgage payment is not a small percentage.
