<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 2263941, member: 30574&quot;]But not all that stuff is inflation.&nbsp; Just as an example,&nbsp; let&#039;s take government since you mentioned it. Gov spending continues to rise and sooner or later the tax payers pick up the tab. It will come out of your pocket and mine. No argument there. Now that is problem, but it is not inflation. You have to ask why the spending goes up. If it was going up because bridges and roads cost more to build, now that would be inflation, but that is not the case. The reason is Washington simply has a spending problem and it is not related to inflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It would be similar to your wife going out and buying a new pair of Louboutin&#039;s every other week. Yes there is more money coming out of your pocket, yes you are paying much more for shoes, but the reason is Not inflation even though the net result for you is the same.(Less money in your pocket)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
