Agree with your point on the subsidized housing. I sometimes do pro bono work for Legal Aid. There just isn't enough subsidized housing to meet demand, even now when times are flush. Most of it goes to unmarried women with infants. I don't think a one or two person family receiving social security would qualify, anyway.

I agree with you, the real reason the inflation numbers are cooked is not to flim-flam the stock market, but to flim-flam people on Social Security and other retirees, whose cost of living adjustments are tied to CPI. It makes the current administration look good, because they can claim that they've tamed the deficit. AARP ought to be up in arms about this. As much money as AARP has, they ought to hire their own economists. Maybe I'll suggest it. I'm not old enough for AARP, only a few more years, guess it's time to start practicing to be a greedy geezer.<g>
