$Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ the effects of a strike ...

when goods cannot make it into an economy prices go up demand remains constant supply is reduced therefore too much demand chases too few goods prices go up that's economics 101

when prices go up if you're the ass vice president you think that's price gauging because she's clueless aside from her being a moron the effect is consumer prices go up and if CPI increases it is a lagging number that chairman Mao will not receive for a month minimum but will show inflationary pressures are increasing to the economy.
