    How can they keep saying inflation figures are "low"?
    The cost of everything I buy has seemingly doubled in the past couple of years....milk, gas, building supplies, insurance, housing....need I go on?
    What do they use when they calculate "inflation"???? Whatever goes up they must take out of the equation....

    I agree, many items and materials we purchase have gone up 10-50% in the past 2 years. Perhaps they are reporting inflation on the moon. I'm sure it's minimal there.

    Maybe, but when you adjust inflation for inflation our prices are actually lower than in 1953. :hammerhea
    in the end just feel good and smile when you take in the end :wink:

    HA HA..I just love dumb ass comments like this.
    "Energy is a killer, but if you don't use it, you're not seeing a whole lot of inflation,"
    No shit shirlock. Well, if you don't "buy stuff", you're not affected by inflation are you? See inflation is nothing to worry about.
    Who can live without buying stuff? Who can live without using energy? In todays world?
    Idiots like this need to be shot.
