“Ben Bernanke’s mad money printing is making its impact. Analysis of October’s construction spending patterns by the Associated General Contractors of America found ongoing building expenditures running at a $872 billion annual rate. That’s up 9.6 percent in a year – and the highest level of activity in 37 months. Residential efforts ran especially strong: New single-family construction hit its highest mark since November 2008; multifamily construction hit a three-year high; and home improvements ran at a five-year high. This is all a Bernanke manipulated boom—next stop price inflation 2013.”
