When will they ever listen. Americans are like alcoholics, they have to hit rock bottom before they pay attention:o

I bet McCain will claim that he was the one who saw it coming. lol

He stole the inflation talking point from Ron and he knows it. The man is an idiot.

using the equation from back then. Then the gov't learned they dont have to fight inflation - they just need to change the equation so it doesnt look like we have high inflation.

"Note: The CPI chart on the home page reflects our estimate of inflation for today as if it were calculated the same way it was in 1990. The CPI on the Alternate Data Series tab here, reflects the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980. "

PDF on CPI (inflation equation) and how the gov't has changed it.

Well of course he is the only one talking about it. Just like other candidates are the only ones talking about certain other issues. Of course the one guy talking about all of these is Ron Paul. But since he is a non-candidate to most of the media, he cant' be given credit for anything.

Thanks for the site info.

That is what I have been trying to find for months now.

Just started threads on other sites. I knew we had double digit Wholesale inflation, but had no data to show the Retail side, since we usually only hear about the BS "core" rate.

Can someone Sticky this thread?

And someone needs to get these Stats to Dr. Paul immediately.

If he can quote 12% inflation, when we calculate it like we did in 1990, then people's ears will perk up.

Thank you - this info needs to get out to everyone in general - ESPECIALLY those who remember the inflation of the late 70s early 80s. Show them its the same as it was then and they will start listening to Paul.

Perhaps we could make a one page flyer on this to hand out? I can work on that.

How the heck are we not winning with an economy like it is, and dr. paul being the only candidate who knows how to fix it??
