If you believe the govt's CPI numbers you are mistaken. One month does not a trend make.
So no explanation for more people owning homes and stocks than ever before in our nation's history?
Have you ever seen the census data on the "poor"? It ranges from 60-75% of them own cars, microwaves, large screen televisions, have air conditioning, a roof over their heads and are fat.
Well, okay, the last part, about their being fat -- I made it up :-)
But honestly, there's no other country in the world where the poor are fat.
And now I have to go; I'm just disgusted with the media which has downplayed the economy for 5 years.
