Just let me "think" : higher input prices lead to higher output prices, which in turn leads to higher calculatory costs. In order to remain as profitable as before companies will :

a) increase employees salaries ? Hum - no.
b) hire more employees ? Hum - no.
c) influence on Washington policy makers to fire Ben Bernanke as FED chairman ? Yes, highly appreciated.
 
Never fear. "Core" CPI, which excludes those pesky food and energy costs (and makes many other adjustments), came in at 0.0% last month.

What a joke.
