[|Current Event Article] Title: Rising inflation creates unease in the Middle East Author: Nawara Mahfoud  Source: Nytimes.com 05/09/08

This article is about the the rising of inflation and the rising of gas and food prices. My article says that it is becoming a must to budget the family money for gas and food and yet they dont have much left to play with after that. Inflation in some countries was virtually zero for a decade or so and now it has gone up on average 6%. They have tried to make the minumum wages go up but this only covers a fraction of the price.
