Real simple to me.I admit both Mish and GST know much more than I but:
I just checked out this exact pair of shoes for my wife we got last year for $129.00. Now they are $139.00. That is a 7.7% increase. Last year she and I each received about 3% raises. I call that increased cost of shoes inflation vs. wages and don't give a damn how much the fed has printed. Shoes are not the only thing, insurance, heat, gas, most food.(Mish may argue that but he is wrong I have done the family grocery shopping each week for 25 years.)

With an increased cost of goods to a consumer like me on a budget who receives wages that is INFLATION.If you want to quit arguing just say things cost more vs wages for most of us.

No I don't work for Goldman Sachs.
