Thank you so much for this.  I've been trying to talk to people about some of 
these things, but people are not willing to listen.  The  "belt-tightening"  
that we are facing will not be voluntary.  Faith g.

  Nippon steel  raised their prices 40% on all items  2 weeks ago.. BHP and RIO 
Tinto(world's largest)  just raised iron ore prices 85% this week.  Dow 
Chemical raised everything 20% 3 month's ago and announced yesterday they are 
raising all products 25% next month. Give all this 90 days to get to the 
consumer.
