Inflation is greatly exceeding the GDP growth. I could make a case that we’re still in decline. I live in a comparatively protected community with city, county, state and federal government along with lots of university and junior college workers. The price of housing is dropping. Homes are spending more time on the market. Rentals are up and housing starts down. People aren’t spending the way they used to. In short, if this is a recovery it s*cks.
You do realize that all your observations are of deflation, not inflation.
