6% is huge. The question is, who benefits?

Also sucks for those of us who want to go overseas or, worse, are paying bills and such overseas. Imports of all kinds will also cost more. This could be bad especially for those buying oil/electric for heating in the colder, and typically poorer, areas.

Yeah, rising prices are pretty bad, too, way worse than the inflation rate. Food has gotten more expensive, and electricity, and with the weather getting every crazier, you have to run your AC all the time.
