Craig, on the last sentence, my hope is that female hooker prices come down. <G> Health care is one example. Another is housing. The CPI now says that housing prices went up 3% last year. I don't think the bubble would be bubbling if they only went up 3%. Has anyone else bought a steak lately? I don't have any kids, but day care now costs more than my entire salary for 1979. And I had a good job. How about a coke machine? Now, I'm not going back to the dark ages when they were a nickle. (Actually, Pepsi was a nickle and Coke was a dime. But I was true to RC Cola and Double Cola, which were also a nickle.). But 3 or four years ago, you could buy a can for 50 cents and a bottle for 75 cents. And there were discount machines where you could buy for 35 cents, though they took your two quarters and told you they had no change. <G> I visited a client last week and the bottled cokes in the machine outside his office were $1.35. Yow!
