"I didn't want to get in-

that's not what Silver Dollar

During the summers, Fuller
is at his shop showing the
visitors how a blacksmith
works. In the winter, he works
with another blacksmith, Paul
Lundquist, mostly on a com-
mission basis at his blacksmith
shop next to his home outside
Sevierville. Lundquist was a

"We're doing it just like the

,,Everything is done by hand.

Fuller says the personal sat-

A $37 LOAF OF BREAD IN
AMERICA'S FUTURE?
By Edwin Feulner
If inflation continues at its present pace, the United
States could become like pre-World War II Germany, where
housewives had to lug suitcases full of money to the market
each week to pay for their groceries.
Inconceivable? Don't bet on it.
According to statistics published recently in a major
midwestern newspaper, the average worker who earned
$10,500 in 1977 would be earning $656,000 a year in 2050
if wages rise at a modest 5.75 percent per year between now
and then.
Assuming prices rise an even more modest four percent
per year, not the present ten percent, a one-pound loaf of
bread will cost $37.50, a house costing $55,000 today will
cost $3.4 million, and a cross-town phone call will cost
something like $9.00.
Speaking of prices, eagle.eyed hordes of trade un-
ionists, whose passion for scapegoating Big Business is
only exceeded by their passion for record-setting wage in-
creases, are on the prowl across the country monitoring
consumer prices.
According to veteran labor reporter Victor Riesel,
whose charming wife Evelyn and Hedtage's own Herb Ber-
kowitz share old-country Roumanian recipes with one-
another, old warlord George Meany has directed Leo Perils,
head of the AFL-CIO Community Community Services De-
partment, to monitor America's supermarket, drugstore,
department and discount store pricesjust in case someone
should excede Jimmy Carter's seven percent solution. (Only
the Teamsters and other specially blessed interests are per-
mitted to exceed the guidelines.)
Riesel warns of "mass rallies, store demonstrations,
swift-swooping photographers . . . city and state.wide co-
alitions of masses of men and women.., the whole pres-
sure group spectrum in hundreds of cities."
The idea, of course, is to pressure storekeepers--who
are no more responsible for inflation than the next fellow--
to bite the bullet until it explodes.
The real cause of inflation, of course, is complex. Ris-
ing prices and demands for keep-up wage increases are only
symptoms of inflation, not its primary causes.
The true cause is buried deep in Washington in the com-
plex of federal laws and rules which permit the federal
government to pay its bad debts with bogus money and
forces private industry to divert so many resources to pleas-
ing the bureaucrats that productivity suffers and dies.
The first cause is easiest to understand. Whenever the
federal government operates in the red--in other words,
when we have deficit spendingthe government printing
presses are cranked into operation to cover the debt. The
value of each dollar, of course, decreases propor-
tionatelyand you have "inflation."
The second cause is more complex and less visible.
Government quality-of-life regulations, as well intentioned
as they arc, force industry to divert billions of dollars from
research and development, plant construction and moderni-
zation, and from other pursuits that would help give us more
bang for each buck. (No, productivity does not refer to more
perspiration per hour of labor from America's workers.)
The results are obvious--having to pay more for raw mate-
rials and for worker salaries, industry must simply pass on
these increases to consumers because the only way to offset
them would have been by increasing productivity. But the
government has taken care of that.
Again, you have inflation.
If a $37 loaf of bread sounds as scary to George Meany
as it does to us, we invite him and his AFL-CIO lobbyists to
join the rest of America in calling for a sane economic
program that will permit the government to spendno more
than it takes in and will allow U.S. industry to go about the
business of doing business.
