It's this kind of in-depth analysis that keeps me coming back. You can't argue with the facts. I mean, you can, but then you just look like a doofus. The only people who think food doesn't cost more these days have cooks and never darken the door of a grocery store.
It’s not how much money is being made. It’s how it is distributed.
Paul Krugman is doing great. His servants live in the same house as he does, but occupy a different economic strata, one that dirtbags like Krugman have never experienced and cannot emphasize with.
Don’t get me wrong- I’m not disputing it. I’m just reflecting on the absurdity of the point. And I’m not having a go at you for mentioning it. But the idea that inflation is “lower”, while being technically “correct” is laughable considering prices across many sectors are in excess of 20% higher over the past three years.
I blame those darned greedy potato chip companies and candy bar companies who are I guess making their candy bars smaller and putting less potato chips in their bags. It's like all they care about is money! (That's who I've been told to blame, anyways.)

Forgive me…it’s early.. I didn’t recognize the irony
“Inflation is down”. Really? Please explain.
The inflation was much higher and now it's lower. It was like 8% for a while and now it's like 3% or something. No one is disputing this.
Things are still getting more expensive, but at a slower rate.

I'd throw interest rates in there too. (And if you have to take out a second mortgage to buy hot dogs, that's a double whammy.)
Food is way overrated…
No no - they're right! My holiday ramen is WAY cheaper than that baked ham I bought three years ago!
You should have asked for ten million. One million's not going to buy that many Big Macs.
