The Cato article includes a link to the U.S. Census bureau so the information presented in the article is readily accessed and verified.

Here's a link to the CPI, so you can see that there is no inflation.

That's sort of my point...the ways of calculating these various indicators have been tinkered with a lot in the past few years. For the CPI, the market basket mean was measured until the Bushies took charge at the Department of Labor, now they select a median representative consumer product to represent the whole economy. These numbers are not credible, and are not reflecting the reality most people can see all around them.

Omg....................... I'm a LIBERTARIAN.:shock: I just thought I was a registered Independent.

support maximum liberty in both personal and

economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one

that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.

Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose

government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate

diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties

We need to all get together and start our own party. I think we all agree way more than we disagree. Except for SandyBanks.

That goes against my ideas of liberty, kind of like organizing an anarchist group. :lol:

I've got no problem admitting that!

About a year ago, I realized I was getting more conservative in my "old age" and freaked out about it. I thought I was becoming my DAD:yikes:. Can I be a conservative hippie?:D
