Consumer Prices in the United States Drop
« on: December 17, 2008, 02:57:18 PM »
Consumer prices in the United States fell by 1.7 percent in November, the largest one-month decline dating to February 1947, as energy costs dropped sharply, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.

The November drop in consumer prices surpassed the previous record decrease of one percent set in October and was larger than the 1.2 percent drop that analysts had been expecting.

The report showed that energy prices plunged 17 percent last month, nearly double the 8.6 percent decline in October. Both declines represented record drops.

The 17-percent drop was the fourth straight monthly decline in energy costs. The back-to-back retreat came after energy costs recorded big advances in May, June and July.

Gasoline costs fell by a record 29.5 percent in November, while home heating oil costs were down 14.6 percent and natural gas prices were off 5.2 percent. source: PNA

That would never happen in Europe especially Germany. Everyone is clamoring to lessen taxes to improve the purchasing power but our lady Chancellor Angie Merkel is not subscribing to this idea. She had her own tactics.

Lowering consumer products in just one tactic to circulate money held by the consuming public as business establishments are becoming near liquid, meaning out of cash because people are holding domestic expenditures by saving their money at home instead of the banks. This is one solution to spur back business activities that sustain the economy. Reduction of taxes is also another method of increasing the purchasing power of the consuming public by increasing their take home pay. There has to be some balancing tactic that will certainly boost business activities: Bring down prices of commodities and increase take home pays of the consuming public thru tax reductions.

Diri sa atoa mao man pod. Pero ang among company provides tax shield to those who earn more than the maximum taxable income of 35%. Diha sa Germany ang alam ko may religious tax pa. Pero ang nakabintaha lang diha kay ug may problema ka anaa man jod moy proteksyon gikan sa gobyerno. Dili pareha diri nga pasagdan ka lang sa gobyerno nga magutom.

Base on what I observe in some European countries and even Australia bongga lagi kaayo ni sila ug Holiday I mean vacation liman ka it could take 1 month or more.They can afford to go everywhere around the globe nga murag way worry about money.But ang mga Americans labi na kung nagwork privately or sa goberno murag taas ramay 2 weeks ang vacation.Mas more on planning man siguro ang mga american sa future labi na sa retirement kay dili man bongga si sila ug mga trip unlike sa aussies ug mga european.Mas practical ang american kay bisan mouli ta sa atua sa Bohol naay dagko nga balay didto and then you learn mostly tag iya ana nga balay european ang american magmantinir lang ug budget budget nga balay.Dako man tuod ang taxes sa Europe pero at least ug mo retire na ni sila ang goberno na siguro moatiman nila mao nang way worry sa retirement unlike sa american.

Maka ibog bitaw sab sila kay ang kalipay ng mga Europeans ug mga Merikanos outings and vacations man jod. I know most of them spend lesser on foods to save their money for a planned vacation. Akong mga kaubang Kano ug Britons sa Middle East sa una sandwich, tea and coffee lang ang kan on nila during daytime unlike the filipinos who are known to be heavy eaters.

We are eligible for 30 paid holidays, so you see, if you are frugal enough you could really have a vacation. We have strong labor unions, if inflation rises, there will be warn strikes to ask for raise. It might sound utopic but the standard of living is really high.

30-day vacation is enough to relieve stresses from workloads. Foriegn companies even force their employees to avail of vacation leaves and sponsor group tours for that purpose. The logic behind it is increase in work productivity. That logic is nowhere applied here in Pinas. Most of us are obliged to work and work without play. Then after a year of work unused vacation leaves are gone and forfieted. This is part of the unfair labor practices here.

Lay, our lifestyle here is really regimented.  Kinahanglan ka ug paholay. Sa ato dili ka mangiliw kay daghan kang ka estorya, katabang, mag-angay.  Dinhi imong tug-tog imong sayaw. Time must be wisely used.
I have the freedom to surf for hours now because my kids are grown up. They can cook and look after themselves. A partner/husband is just a nuisance for me. So you see my job gave this financial independence.
