But half the snarky con-econ-free-market geeks here at FR told me we were going into a deflation when I said there would be inflation. Not that I am a I told you so sort of guy.

I’m not.

Really.

Even if I told you so.

Which I did.

Silly fool. When they talked about "the future" they were talking about tomorrow - literally.

Looking past the next day's stock buy/sale is out of the realm of their thinking.

Were those the same people that dismissed anyone as a "doom and gloomer" that warned others about how our economy was nothing more than a ponzi scheme/house of cards during the past several years? I wonder whatever happened to those guys. You don't hear from them much anymore...

Other than energy and used car prices there isn't much going on with price inflation. New car prices spiked a bit during cash for clunkers. They were actually in negative territory last month..

Yes interesting that all of a sudden they release figures showing an increase in the CPI...AFTER telling SS/military Retirees NO COLA FOR YOU.

didn’t we just hear this week that they are planning 3 years without Colas.

We need a spy in the Dum Camp, so that we REALLY know WTH they are up to.
