In other words, we've been predicting massive inflation for 7 years, this is our explanation for why we were really, really wrong. I don't know what *YOU* are talking about. All i've seen for the last seven years is massive inflation. By my estimate of the change in cost of items I purchased in 2007 versus now, inflation is running nearly 100% for that time period.
A quart of oil in 2007 was $0.85. Now it is $4.00.

That's an interesting anecdote.
