Well, I’m perplexed and befuddled. For a couple years now I’ve been reading economic news stories like the above where it is seemingly “accepted” by the mainstream media that the rate of inflation is “low” and contained, and, as this blurb indicates, even alarmingly so. But I don’t get it. Inflation, to me, is high and going even higher. I base this opinion on the prices of things (goods and services) that I actually buy.
