For your daughter trying to counteract the lies she is receiving concerning inflation...I would highly recommend you purchase "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" by Richard J. Maybury (www.bluestockingpress.com>) It brings the issues down to a 'laypersons' level making it clear, informative and entertaining. Among many topics, it deals with the governments role in the boom and bust cycle. I am confident that you will arm your daughter with much ammunition to defeat this pony-tailed liberals false reasonings!
