As far as Im concerned the inflation number is quite phony. the only deflation that i see for myself will be in my mortgage costs assuming i can refinance and lower my rate from 5.5% to 3.5%. OTOH I have seen food costs increase by way more than 1-2% for just about any item that contains nutrients.

Health Insurance, College Tuition seem to be going up by at least 5 % every year. The only way I seem to be able to save money is by doing things myself or hiring high school kids.

In the meantime we continue to face structural unemployment. there are just fewer full time jobs out there. and politicians are slow to adjust. where i live its just beautiful and land is reasonbly priced and plentiful. I spoke to someone and expressed surprised that more industry doesnt relocate here and he told me that they they just dont want to deal with union activity which he feels is encouraged in the state of Mass. So the government needs to gets its act together and offer sufficient inducements and incentives to rebuild a manufacturing base in this country. thats the only way out that i can see.
