Question for Econo-types

[pms]

Yo La-bosters.  Still trying to figure out the conspiracy.  Picking up hints
reading Blowback by Charmers Johnson.  I didn't know Carter was gonna take
the troops out of S. Korea and that after Parks got killed the baddies used
the threat of "another Iran" to play it their way!  Now I REALLY suspect
that certain  US powers helped put the Ayatolla in charge.  They had to do
something to get Carter out of there.  And anyway, our baddies probably
adore and are jealous of these religious fundies.  Treat their woman the way
woman should be treated.

But anyway, my question, if someone would be so kind:  With soft pricing in
manufactured goods and all, why is EU worried about inflation?  Is it
because they provide services like healthcare which are heading into
hyper-inflation?  And because their people have unions?  Or is it some other
kinda thing?

Thanks from the Rube Gallery

ps.  My Repug boss was so upset about the health insurance premium increases
he just got, he's even willing to listen to my lefty rant about the trap
that managed care has sprung.  This healthcare thing is a huge opportunity
to talk to folks about the fundementals of why markets can't take care of
everything. And as an intro, I think that's enough.   I've taken to telling
folks to look at Argentina if they want to see the future of this country.
They seem almost open to that.  But the frequent reponse is that you can't
do anything about it.  What ta do?
