Actually I think we are in need of a new party that have folks like McCain and Lieberman at the helm-- I think you guys are "whistling Dixie" on the "New Party" concept. We seem to be headed toward a very strong Republican party and the Dems out of the picture on a National basis. The coming split is in the social conservative/Libertarian part of the Republicans. The Dems are just ending up as the hard left. The new alignment will be the "Eagle" Republicans voting with the Dems on social issues.

michael...Found something earlier today:; Consumer Price Index...I was looking to find numbers from the early 60's and compare to today.......You can do that, but things became 100% in 1980-82. Looks like prices were about 30% higher from 60-80.....BUT NOTE what happened from the early 80's to today!!! The 90's in particular!! Talked with my hubby about the discussion today. He agrees with me (will wonders never cease!!) about the young peoples wants above their means, and is MUCH stronger about the increase in all taxes than any us of here have been! fedstats.gov Federal Stats site bls.gov Consumer Price Index--early 1900's to current tables
