College tuition has been rising at a much higher pace than inflation for decades. Gasoline prices are down (significantly) since this summer.
Yet, gas prices are almost double what they were 10 years ago. House prices, even post-2008, are far above what they were 10 years ago. Everything we buy is more expensive, but wages are stagnant. The price index also plays a million wretched games, such as replacing the price of steak for the price ground beef, and saying all is fine.
And our government has printed untold trillions of meaningless money.
But keep telling yourself there’s no inflation.
They have a vested interest in proclaiming no inflation, or accurately reporting unemployment. Social Security is tied to inflation.
