>>>why isn't inflation also "booming"?<<< Who said inflation wasn't booming??? Oh. That's right, the government. They have a vested interest in understating inflation ever since Ted Kennedy indexed social security to the CPI. Where there is obvious inflation: Energy: Between 50% to 100% more this year than last to drive your car or heat your home. Same value with a higher price tag. Inflation. Housing: Prices up 50% since 2000?? Some higher. Same value, higher price. Inflation. Medicine/Health Care: Same value (try less) with about 2X the cost over the last five years. Inflation. I know, I know - the "core" inflation is unchanged, and computers - which undoubtedly give one much greater value for way less (Bill Gates notwithstanding) compensate for everything else being up.
