Anything like “shadowstats” or something that has the real inflation rate, including food and energy?
Yep, for >5 years. It certainly took its time to get here.
I gave up posting Schiff’s inflation predictions years ago.
Food prices hae risen steadily since 0 ook office but very noticeably with this second term.
We’re on track.
And that locomotive is right behind us, bearing down, with the whistle blasting repeatedly.
Train-dodging is a highly risky sport.
I would submit that for those of us who are debt-free and have some savings, some inflation which caused increase in wages and interest paid on savings will be a good thing.
Generally rising prices (inflation) make all dollar amounts go up, while the actual value remains the same or decreases.
This gives the ruling elite the chance to say that the economic indicators are rising. But they aren’t.
They are insulated from the effects of inflation with their automatic pay and pension increases.
stagflation, anyone?
You can’t have inflationary policies for over a decade without eventually experiencing inflation. I used to get out of the grocery store for about $100 less than a year ago now it seems I can’t get below $150. Of course they don’t count food in the statistics. It isn’t like that is a category of consumer goods that affects anyone.
