From a Herman Cain economic adviser here:
There is certainly more than enough misery to go around. With the unemployment rate at 9.1%, and the 12-month change in the CPI at 3.77%, the “misery index,” the sum of the two, in August was 12.87, its highest level since May, 1983. And, last week’s report that the unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.1% in September means economic misery remains high.
