Sorry, what I meant to say was: So, claiming the US is doing so much better in regard to inflation, than the rest of the world is a stretch, yes?
And I do not now, nor have I ever stated or meant to imply that inflation is the only measure of how a country is doing economically. But I think I did say that it is one that disproportionally hurts the poor and to a lesser extent the middle class, and I stand by that.
In any event, would you please explain how a middle-class guy whose wages do not keep pace with inflation benefits from an increasing GDP?
