Inflation still problem in July wholesale prices rise
Washington economists say the 1.2 percent July wholesale price rise signals inflation remains a problem but not a new round of inflation. Treasury official Edgar Fiedler says it is a reminder, not a surge, with basic inflation around 6 percent and expected to ease by year end. Meany and Goldfinger dissent, criticizing the grain price jump and the Kremlin influence claim while noting food costs can move up or down. Unemployment also edged up in April, though the increase was modest.
