Inflation & Demographics: In studying the Immigration Adjusted Birth Rate chart in Dent's book, and before reading the relevant chapter in his book, I noticed that the inflation shadows the birth rate about 20yrs later. It's not about "blame" or government policy, it's just empirical evidence of a pattern. For example the birth rate was lowest in the early and mid 30s, while the inflation rate was lowest in the 50s. The birth rate was highest between '57 and '61, the inflation rate was highest about 20 yrs later. Perhaps you think that's just coincidence. If so, you're entitled to your opinion.

i still think inflation has been hiding cleverly in a closet, that closet being the stock market. i will sadly be selling a property bought in 1974, it has increased in value by 1,500% since it's purchase(that's why i have got to sell), that seems inflationary to me. I read that a dollar from 1982 would be worth 52cents now, i guess that is what they call creeping inflation:) All i know, prices seem to keep going up, but hey there is NO inflation--housing,energy, electricity, education rising, but no inflation worries. And the price for medicines, that's has blown the top off the thermometer.Max
