"People had very nice raises, percentage-wise, during the Carter years. But their purchasing power dropped like a rock. Yet you would only look at their raises."

What makes you say that? Certainly nothing that I've mentioned so far.

My point was that salary increases are one thing, and that inflation is another. That doesn't mean, as you erroneously extrapolate, that I'm ignoring either.

You claimed that a salary increase was a good thing, even if it was LESS than the rate of inflation. I showed the fallocy of that argument.
