For the last several months the American and world economies have been hit hard.  Stock markets around the world have lost considerable value, and as a result many people and companies have been wiped out financially.  Blame is being thrown in every direction as to what caused the problems.  I’ve been reading in the media and blogs alike that saw the Free Market is to blame and it is time to let Capitalism die out.

For the most part, the people that I talk with on a daily basis are worried about inflation. The prices of everything people are buying is going up. Gas , groceries, and entertainment just to name a few. People are starting to have to make tough choices where their money is concerned. But inflation is not always a bad thing, for example inflation can cause wages to to up in the form of cost of living increases.
