<< And there is no inflation right now, but rather global deflation of prices and contraction of economic growth and pricing power. >> My wife runs a cafeteria in the industrial setting. First time in 6 years, she is increasing prices - now. Coke & Pepsi have gone up greatly. Oh, I'm sorry, these are not part of the "inflation index". The bread is also. Oh, I'm sorry, the government has now included a "Rule of Substitution" Where by, if wheat goes up, we can all eat corn bread as long as it remains cheap. I have long said this substitution rule reminds me of that French lady who said "Let them eat Cake" when bread was not affordable. I guess our government would call her problem "A little pain in the neck". rh
