>>So for all you folks headed to Disneyland, when you are asked to pay the new and improved price of $41, (up from $31 for your 10-year-old who has been upgraded to an adult; hence the new, improved price), you can tell them it can't be so because the government says there's no inflation. <<

bill, but your daughter now values disneyland 1/3 more so there is no inflation. or the quality of disneyland went up 1/3. or folks are substituting the local park for disneyland and it all "averages" out.

dude, this is sooooooooooooo obvious! our leaders MUST be our best thinkers or they wouldn't be leaders. they think this is the right approach so it must be right. no way they would give in to their own personal self interest. DOH!

gag me w/ a spoon! ;-)

Gary, I also love the way they mention, front and center, that business sales are getting better every month when they have almost no business sales as the percentage of the total revenues. These guys, as The Church Lady would say, are "special." I laughed at the report about their quirky black and white cow motif. I thought they were going to say their quirky black and white accounting statements. <g>
