You made the following statement: Message 23100676 "The EURO has been a total lie in Europe, fueling massive inflation and destruction of the middle class..." I said "IMO total BS..." You then said Message 23104599 "Inflation in Europe has always been here. After the Euro came in - the prices just took off..." Well, it has been in the U.S. as well and based on the chart below, the U.S. has had worse inflation than the Euro area. Picking out just Spain isn't quite fair. Also note that the EMU uses hedonics and substitution far less liberally than the BLS and therefore overstates inflation in comparison to the U.S..
