  1. You from there? I played the state fair in Raileigh, and the Dixie Classic in Winston from 1978 to 1988. Nice state full of good people.
  2. Can you please explain how lower unemployment and a higher GDP rate exert inflationary pressures?
  3. I'm sorry, am I talking down to you? Had you read my post before yours, you would have seen that I wrote: "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?"
  4. Well, it can only be one the other, it can't be a stretch, and a genuinely good achievement. That the greatest economy the world has ever known is only doing about as well as Europe (per your data) is not a great achievement.
  5. 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?
  6. Okay, well I'm sorry about that, I thought we were trying to have an honest discussion. 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?
  7. So, claiming the US is doing so much better than the rest of the world is a stretch, yes?
  8. The inflation rate did increase more than 100%.
  9. A lot of people feel he was wrongly convicted. If you believed someone was wrongly convicted, would you not support them?
  10. Which does not make him a racist.
  11. So now you're going to start telling stories? I never said inflations was not cumulative. Can we not just try to have a civil discussion?
  12. Please explain how a middle-class guy whose wages do not keep pace with inflation benifs from an increasing GDP?
  13. As inflation wages outpaces wages, a growing GDP does not help wage earners. And since Biden took office, the payment to buy a home on a 30-year fixed is up over 60%
  14. Well, given (T think) about a third of the GDP is government spending it is not insignificant.
  15. How does GDP growth help the poor and middle class that are suffering from high inflation?
  16. You are correct, looks like core is 3.2 vs the 2.9 on all items, my bad.
  17. Why do you say that?
  18. Boy's Town or food-court?
