"that is one of the most idiotic posts I have seen in some time. What if wages went up 1.8 percent and the government went into Carter mode and inflation was 12 percent? Would you still say that things were OK?"
Things being "OK" or not isn't the debate. Nice straw man, though.
Oh, and salaries went UP, not down; which is in stark contrast to having salaries decline even while inflation rises.
