Hey there!!!!

The “core” stuff I have to purchase/pay to live:

1. People Food and Doggie Food (don't get me started);
2. Gas ($1.85 November 2008 now $4.00);
3. Clothes (well ladies’ clothes are always going up);
4. The dogie doctor (letter explaining how ObamaCare affected them);
5. Taxes in general and in particular Property Taxes, Fees etc. (OK, I live in Chicago); and
6. Utility Bills (mainly cable)

have gone up. So, I am so very happy that that the Fed's CPI is 0% and that they are not MONEY PRINTING!!!!

Core CPI 0.0%

I take it that the Federal Government will now see fit NOT to increase the Social Security payments to the elderly next year.

It makes me happy that there is no motivation for the Federal Government to define the CPI in such a way as to low ball inflation. ; )
