Bill, The question for today is: With most statistics indicating household expenditures at growing in or over the 5% range, is inflation as low as some say and report? The productivity report had Hourly Compensation increasing at a 4.7% rate. Consumer credit for last quarter at 6.5%. Etc. etc. Remember, consumer prices rose at 4.2 percent in the third quarter. A trite saying: You can fool some of the economists all of the time; All of the economists some of the time; But you can't fool all the economists all of the time. Constant revisions do help! Repealing the law of supply and demand? Hum... I think not. Skeet (This is a comment on the overall trend. It may not show up in this week's CPI.)
