Fine by me. Take it at a baseline of .35. It makes the same point. Don't you see that?
You've made NO point,so how is that I'm now supposed to agree with you?
Look,of econ challenged....some prices have fallen,many have not since the 1950s. You don't know why that is. The reasons are several. First and not least of all,there have been no PANICS nor DEPRESSIONS in America in the last 76 years. In the past,prices fell during depressions and some times during panics.
Prices for some things have fallen precipitously ( T.V.s, video recorders,radios,computers ),because of new developments in technology and where and how they are manufactured.
In 1919,yes,I said 1919,the penthouse apartment in 220 East Walton Place,in Chicago,cost $5,000 a month to rent...RENT!
Let that figure sink in a bit............
Today that building is no longer a rental,but the monthly assessments (yes, it's co-op now)aren't double or even triple that amount...they're less than double it.
