Rock_nj I think the inflation numbers are not based on reality anyway. It seems to me that things have been getting more expensive during the 90s. Boy, have you got that right .. I seem to remember about 2 yrs ago the government 'changed' their inflation calculation and the reason behind it was so that the government's COLA adjustments would be understated .. CNBC used to run a weekly spot .. they had 8 - 10 locations around the country where they had individuals shop for the same list of 12 everyday items Milk .. a gallon of gas .. razor blades etc etc and they would turn that into an index .. it was always rising faster than the government numbers for the same time period .. too bad they stopped doing it ..
