I was having a difficult time with the timeframe. So once the next trillion dollar bailout is passed will the spike double?

it might double, it might not move...depends on how the bailout is financed.
the giant increase in money supply is a function of bush, paulson, bernanke.

the base has about doubled from a year ago.
this shows just how aggressive the fed has been in responding to the recession.
the long term affects are anyone's guess. with price deflation currently being felt, it certainly hasn't been felt there.
the fed could easily contract the base if the economy began to grow again.

The index rose by 3.4% in January -- the seventh monthly increase in a row -- to its highest level since records began in 1990.

Rising commodities costs are one of the major factors behind a growing wave of civil unrest across the Middle East and North Africa.

CNBC: Clothing prices going up
Quote:
The era of falling clothing prices is ending. Clothing prices have dropped for a decade as tame inflation and cheap overseas labor helped hold down costs.
...
Cotton has more than doubled in price over the past year, hitting all-time highs. The price of other synthetic fabrics has jumped roughly 50 percent as demand for alternatives and blends has risen.

This party is just getting started.

Heard a report that Rising Gas prices have been a result of several factors. Certainly the unrest in the Middle-East and other Oil rich areas, but that one major factor has been Obama's ban on off-shore drilling.
Seems that the last time prices went up, the previous administration allowed the USA to tap into its own reserves as well as its own off-shore resources which forced the other Oil rich nations to respect the competition and thus lower prices.
However now we are are back on a "Ban" status and thus rely even more on Oil Imports, which has caused for another drastic rise in oil prices.
What will it take to reopen the capabilities of the USA to harvest its own oil via off-shore drilling and thus lower the cost, which ultimately helps the citizens of the United States experience lower spending for simple day to day business?

Yeah, several factors....something like......
- 1 part Mid-East turmoil;
- 99 parts Quantative Easing; and
- 1/1,000,000,000th parts bans on off shore drilling
