Inflation - honesty!

On the back on my writing about the Fed yesterday and the topic of inflation, I really think it something that should be discussed in detail at some point, but here are a few thoughts: - Do prices seem like they have only gone up 2%?  per year? 

- When you go the store, everything is more expensive and packaged in smaller boxes to shield us from the sticker price

 - We always ignore gas and fuel from this discussion, but stripping it out is like saying, I have alot of money each month if I didnt have to pay my mortgage.

The genesis of this discussion is at the heart of why people dont trust the government or what some of our politicians tell us.  Reality of our daily lives always trump stats by some agency etc.  I think it's important to be real with people and have an HONEST and OPEN discussion. 

More to come....
