The government has under reported inflation for decades, we no longer measure by the same standards to further mask the destruction of wealth. Keynes himself said that inflation is the easiest way for government to confiscate everyone's wealth, and they have done it. If they had been honest about inflation, SS reform would have happened decades ago. Let's see where AARP lands this election- my bet is they still support the Democrats. Prices go up and all my fixed income friends can't make ends meet, not even close. It's a crime.
