During her address she said inflation will go from near zero to the Fed's target of 2 percent in a few years.

Out here in the real world, food, rent, and healthcare have skyrocketed in the last few years. Only a bobblehead not living in the real world would believe inflation was under 2%.

Agreed. The grocery store is the best proof of this. All one has to do is remember. Take a candy bar. I don't eat them, but I was waiting in the checkout lane and was looking at them. I used to work in retail thirty years ago and had to stock them. They were much, much bigger and cost much, much less. One little example in a million of how our dollar has lost its value.
