Althoug...Mark -<br /><br />I'm not disagreeing with you.<br /><br />Although inflation has averaged 2.5% this century - more than a full % point below average - people are still getting hurt by it, perhaps even more so than in the 70's when inflation was high, but we all got COLA's. That's because i recent years wages have been stagnant or in decline.<br /><br />That 2.5% inflation amounts to about a 28% price increase in a decade, while wealth (home value) has gone down a lot, and wages are level, at best. That is one hell of a hit.<br /><br />We desperately need income increases.<br /><br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-31011687391671883772012-04-27T20:45:40.048-04:002012-04-27T20:45:40.048-04:00Here's another chart to consider.

Bernanke can't determine where the inflation appears. He wants wage inflation. He gets commodity inflation. There are NO wage speculators.<br /><br />In 2004, I was a commodity speculator. I had money. I bought gold and silver (sold in 2006). I had no ability nor desire to speculate on wage inflation (I didn't think wages would rise much, if any).<br /><br /><b>September 7, 2010</b><br /><a href="http://illusionofprosperity.blogspot.com/2010/09/failed-keynesian-phillips-curve.html" rel="nofollow">The Failed Keynesian Phillips Curve</a><br /><br /><i>If the Fed's actions cannot permanently lower unemployment, then that would mean that the Fed is powerless to fulfill one-half of its dual mandate.</i><br /><br />I believed that then.

Much appreciated.<br /><br />I pretty much agree with you, though I'll have to give the demographics aspect more thought.<br /><br />I can tell you that as a retiree, my spending is just about equal to my income, so I do feel I'm doing what little I can to spur the economy.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-31716317396804542032012-04-27T19:33:11.141-04:002012-04-27T19:33:11.141-04:00Note that the Gini coefficient was stable from 195...Note that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient" rel="nofollow">Gini coefficient</a> was stable from 1950 to 1980.

The ...Here's my opinion, for what it is worth.<br /><br /><i>The only president since Reagan to achieve higher GDP growth than his predecessor was Clinton, other than that, it's been a downward spiral.</i><br /><br />Spot on. I really don't think inflation or lack thereof is the problem though. I see these as reasons we're spiraling.<br /><br />1. Demographics<br />2. Massive Trade Deficit<br /><br />Women are no longer entering the workforce like they once did. They've arrived. We can't squeeze more growth out of it.<br /><br />The free market policies of sending our jobs overseas is having massive intended and/or unintended consequences.<br /><br />They are intended since they added to the coffers of the rich (increased income inequality in America).<br /><br />They are unintended since the economy can no longer take the strain (which even the rich can't be all that happy about).Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.com
