They haven't because of the way the CPI is calculated (no consideration for the increase in the cost of Food or Fuel) and some (including many R's) are saying the rate of inflation has been OVER estimated?

Glad to see so many of our Freepers such as Wolfie are independently wealthy and will not have to worry about their retirement or, apparently supporting a widowed 90 year old Mother who relies on SS for income (and who because as a single Mom raising 3 children COULD NOT PUT ANY MONEY ASIDE, MORON) as some of us do and who while we/they help out, could not afford to support their family as well as their elderly parent (completely) at the same time

Such compassion!
