Bambs has been right so far, but not about inflation. So far there doesn't seem to be any Mercy mm, where are you shopping (except for tech stuff-the whole world does not live on computers alone...they have to eat, buy clothes, buy building matls, drive to work). Now inflation measured by the honest people we have in govt doing the measuring is nil but in the REAL world ain't so. Insurance is out of sight..both casualty and health. Bought any coffee and lettuce lately? How is your gas bill lately? Bought any natural gas or butane/propane in the last 2 years? etc etc. I have to keep giving my employees raises to just keep them abreast of the increased cost of living not counting performance increases etc.(don't mind the performance ones but I sure hate the ones that just keep them living at levels they were a year ago). So I disagree with the PUBLISHED inflation numbers just as I disagree with the cakes cooked by the labor reporting people. As a side note...do you know what it would cost the social security fund if they admitted we had inflation? They can't afford to admit there is inflation. Monty
