    Default inflation

    Inflation was down .1% in December. But it was up 4.1% higher than December 2006. I think it's only going to get worse, especially when they keep reducing

    I also found on this site: http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?ap tells you how much average price for things like eggs, gas, etc. WOW eggs were 1.549 per dozen last January and in December they were up to 2.099.
    They also have it so you can see what the average is in certain areas of US: http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/outside.jsp?survey=ap

    That was kinda neat to play with...interesting to see the differences... I remember back in '99 when gas was about $1/gallon...

    Sure do wish things would come down in price...or at least level out and stay put a while!

    I agree it's awful! Yesterday there was a report that said, adjusted for inflation, we are making less than we did in 2000. I believe that! Even with my raises, it seems it just doesn't stretch as far anymore.
