The way the Government measures inflation, as well as CPI, GDP and whatever else,

Who the heck knows what inflation or stagflation or anything is.

For example, if we used the same rules as we used in the late 1970's to measure CPI then people on Social Security would be receiving 70% more money today than they do now.

There is a piece of trivia you don't want to bring up with the people in St. Petersburg.

In the city the population was spread out with 21.5% under the age of 18, 7.7% from 18 to 24, 30.2% from 25 to 44, 23.1% from 45 to 64, and 17.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 91.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 87.7 males.

The median income for a household in the city was $34,597, and the median income for a family was $43,198. Males had a median income of $30,794 versus $25,860 for females. The per capita income for the city was $21,107. 13.3% of the population and 9.2% of families were below the poverty line. 19.1% of those under the age of 18 and 10.8% of those 65 and older were living below the poverty line.
