Cost Of Living Rising Fast Spurs White House Concern
The AP Special Report notes living costs climbed 3.1 percent in 1967, with the Consumer Price Index ending December at 118.2 and a potential 3.5 percent annual rate if trends persist. Wage gains lag behind price increases across food, housing, transportation, and medical care, eroding purchasing power for about 45 million workers. President Johnson warns of an accelerating inflation spiral if tax and policy changes are not enacted. Wholesale prices for materials rose late in 1967, signaling higher grocery costs despite steady food prices earlier in the year.
