The inflation lies are all over the data. washingtonpost.com Every other news contradicts the BLS. Two news items in LA Times and Seattle paper show housing prices continuing up. The only thing that's slowing down is the number of listings since the housing market was saturated with sellers in 1998-1999 with the elimination in cap gains. Even so, the sellers got top prices. Centex even reported this week that sales were running 5 percent ahead of estimates. The labor strikes indicate that no one believes the numbers. Even the pilots won a 45 percent pay increase over 3 years. This is probably the most number of strikes since the late 70s.
