If you think that the minimum wage consumers can keep this entire economy growing, you haven't been in the work force lately. theory is great, until it doesn't scale and work in real life. |

But sure, it's better than a 25% increase in prices, so we got that going for us... Which is nice... Kinda' like receiving "total consciousness on your death bead"...

Yes, inflation has been lower in the recent past. Most years since 1996 have had inflation rates less than 3%. I would certainly prefer 1% over 3.3% but I see a decreasing trend over the last four years as a positive sign.

Inflation can be viewed as the growth of debt since money is now printed to create new debt.
The greatest scam in history involves creating new debt (a few keystrokes) and collecting interest on that debt. Money could have been created with non-interest-bearing treasury notes, but that would deprive banker families of enormous wealth. U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time |

Your 18% is the last ~3 years. In MANY cases, it's 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. Very Painful.

But sure, keep crowing how great the inflation rate is. You seem to be the only one who actually believes that nonsense...

I pay no tax at all on milk, bread, meat, fish, cheese, and many other items at the supermarket. Those are my "every day" purchases.
