I do the shoppign for my family, and I can tell by the prices we pay for staples on the table that the current fed inflation numbers are a work of fiction worthy of Stephen King.

Have you come to realize that too?
When I see eggs, for a basic example, go from 84 cents to $1.65 in less than a year I believe it's time to worry.
If President Bush and Vice-President Cheney had used their bully pulpits and railed against the ethanol farce chicken feed wouldn't be as expensive as it is today. Had they used those pulpits against those that would deny America it's own oil and pushed strongly for drilling in the freaking Pristine Arctic Wilderness as well as off the shores of Florida, where China is now drilling, we'd be in a position to tell the arabs to go make love to themselves.
IF they'd kicked OSHA and the DOE into the Potomac, we'd have new refineries instead of the miserable situation we find ourselves in today: we're actually importing REFINED crude, or gasoline, if you will.
In the meantime, the government takes the 2.0% economic growth and lops off 0.1% for “core inflation” and states GDP rose 1.9%. Never mind if they deducted the true inflation rate, you would see that we are already in a recession.
