    People taking their money to buy things were getting robbed not for the money but for the wheelbarrow as it was more valuable.

  2. Core was up, it's funny how they now focused on the headline number, because it's not rising.

    Government: "Inflation who?"
    Europe & Rest of the world: "Don't worry about it"
    USA citizens: "Dear can you bring me some more dollar bills we are out of timber..."

    :D

  4. According to the CPI, there is no inflation, you are just getting "more" for the higher prices! Its hedonic pricing! That's how they screw the elders on Social Security who's income is tied to the CPI.

    ABSOFRICKINLUTELY! (1) They "creatively define" how inflation is to be measured, (2) they LIE about it, and (3) what is claimed as "growth" is mostly just inflated prices.
