when the cost of goods and services have continued to rise throughout the entire year of 2009........the dollar is worth less and continuing to drop.

I know there are mathmatical definitions for everything in politics...like what constitutes a recession (complete disconnect from reality, but when did that matter?)>

With all the wealth that is owned by the those in Washington, they do not know (or care) what it takes to buy a loaf of bread...bunch of bananas...gallon of gas....etc. They absolutely cannot relate to real life. They have no budgets. They can spend money even when there is none. If something doesn't suit their purpose they can create a law or rescind/revise a law to accomplish their objective.

So how does one rationally accept the government's position of zero (actually negative) inflation??? They are completely insulated from it and don't care.

This is not a partisan discourse, the issue is non partisan.

btk

Zero inflation, (Actually negative) is called a recession.
