Back to our previous discussion.
I think what disturbs me about this article is that they keep changing their standard when comparing prices. They seem always to be looking for the lowest price...regardless of what year that came in. So, you find the year that airline fares were low, but then forget that computer prices were high.
Basing your estimation of inflation (or the "economy") on comparisons with the "best ever" is absurd. It will always seem worse then.
Meanwhile, it's curious to see the socialist, communist and liberal college professors are making sure they get theirs.
It's also interesting to see how the state employee is unhappy about rising property taxes...hmm.
