[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 246853, member: 4886"] WB, First rule of reading charts, are don't believe them unless the axis clearly indicate what is being charted. What exactly is USD index? If you don't know, and can't explain what good is a chart of it? Second, ANY Chart that superimposes bogus money on top of it, probably didn't come from a credible source. Finally, even if you assume the whole chart is accurate. How can you take the high point and use that solely as a basis for your statement? If you can, then another valid point using your same logic, is that you should be making the exact same wages you made in 1992\93 since we were at 79.05 back then. Therefore all wage increases since then should be given back. Obviously there's been inflation in the last 15 years, and you wouldn't have the same standard of living if you earned now what you did back in 92\93. But according to your logic, it should. [/QUOTE]
