Around 6 monts ago I bought bread at Target in Houston for 97 cents a loaf. It has gradually crept up to $1.24. Now it has jumped to $1.47. And Borden’s milk is almost $5 per gallon. This is just two examples. Don’t tell me there’s no inflation.

Indeed. I keep detailed notes of what I spend my money on at Home Depot; pretty much everything I buy is up 15% or so this past year.

And just think of how much those things have inflated when denominated in gold!!!

I won't tell you there's no inflation, because there is, and it's bad. But if you think that your anecdote about your favorite bread's price at Target reliably indicates an increase in food prices of fifty percent over the last six months, I don't really know what to tell you.
The real figure is more like five percent in 2011.
