[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1106838, member: 17605"] Inflation is sketchy. Even if we are in good times, the way the Gov does the numbers for inflation changes. It started out as a baseline of the most used and sold products and services the average household uses. One of them was the price of steak. But as the price of steak started to skyrocket, the changed it to pork. When pork went up it changed to hamburger. Now it's chicken. People started buying the cheaper meats because the Gov stopped calculating COLA on the baseline of steak, fuel, house payment, etc...they also started using rent instead of homeownership as part of the baseline. I really hate the way the Gov works sometimes... [/QUOTE]
