Hi Ho PK. Yes, you are right. Things cost more than they did 20 years ago. That is not what I was talking about. The near zero inflation rate we have now is the result of the Fed doing an outstanding job managing the money supply. The Fed is not like the Bank of Brazil that used to print money like toilet paper...hence the 200% inflation rates not long ago. The steady, market controlled creep of prices over the long haul you mention is a normal trend in healthy, expanding economies such as ours. <H>
