I wish someone could explain that to me.

I believe the global economy is largely the reason for tamed inflation. I've long had a belief it's the Boomers as well. The inflationary period from Johnson through Reagan correlate exactly with the onset of Boomers into the job market. Now they are getting out and dis-inflation dominates. We may have another ten/twelve years of this. I hope so.

National gas prices were about a dollar in 1998. Went up 350% before topping under Bush. Now we are back up there the past 3 years under Obama. When does that cost push inflation finally kick in?
