So I take it that you accept everything the Fed states as God's honest truth?

You'll have to remind me, where did I say that? Post # please.

If you think the Fed is telling you the truth on inflation, well it is, after it takes out everything from the equation that is volitile or inflationary. Funny how all my bills have gone up an average of 5-10%, cable up $5 to $94, home phone up $3 to $35, insurance up $40 to almost $400.

What I find funny is that protectionists who often don't know how to add or multiply believe that their personal experience is a more accurate indicator of inflation than a room full of computers and PhDs in Washington can come up with.

Heating, though that was nice: up 25% two years in a row.

That's terrible, how much of your income did you spend on heating? You think it had the same impact on my friends in California and Florida that it did on you?

Gas, up but we all know that. Food, up about 10%.

How much did you spend on gas and food? And what orifice did you pull that 10% increase out of, or could you have a real link?

The best one is grad school, tuition this year (public university) went up a mild 90%. Sure inflation is nothing but 2%, sure.

Wow, a few public school students paid more for tuition, that must mean inflation for the entire country is 90%?

Your cute little stories are very interesting, now how about some facts? Feel free to get private sector info, it exists you know. Wouldn't want those government numbers to screw you up.

Still waiting for your salary link. Wouldn't want everyone to think you're making stuff up.

I was wondering when the olde Free Traitor mantra of protectionist was going to come out. Demanding fair and equal trade is not protectionism, but it will cut into the profits of certain Free Traitors.
