BTW, how did we only have 2 or 3 percent inflation when housing was going up ten to fifteen percent a year several years ago?

If I bought my house 15 years ago with a fixed rate mortgage, why will a jump in housing raise my cost of living?

If I bought a tv, a car, a computer, etc. two years ago why would a drop in their cost affect my cost of living.

Thanks for proving my point. The "cost of living" has nothing to do with electronics, cars, tv's, etc.
