Most people have not noticed small things but as a parent who runs the household and the books I have. To be more specific, our grocery bills are about 10-15% higher now then they were last year. While the boys are a year older we buy pretty much the same stuff.

It seems like both your household like Governor Palins’s has seen some pretty steep grocery price increase.

The inflation number, however, don’t reflect those numbers, as was reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal reporter, Sudeep Reddy, had asserted that Palin had gotten her facts wrong in a recent speech when she said,”Everyone who ever goes out shopping for groceries knows that prices have risen significantly over the past year or so.” Grocery prices, Reddy pointed out, “haven’t risen all that significantly, in fact”—inflation is at 0.6 percent for the first nine months of 2010.

The story Palin cites to support her claim doesn’t do that. In her speech, Palin said that “prices have risen significantly over the past year or so.” The Journal article says prices are only “beginning” to rise. The time period of “significant” increase Palin is talking about is referred to in the first sentence of the exculpatory article as “the tamest year of food pricing in nearly two decades.”

I’m with SDR. We haven’t seen price decreases at all over the past year, and have only received notices from all our utility companies, etc. that prices are going up.

Our grocery bills are just as expensive as ever, if not higher. Healthcare costs are up, college tuition is going up, utilities up, housing is up, commodities and stock prices are up…I don’t care what the CPI says, inflation is decidedly higher, Y-O-Y.

If you believe the government inflation numbers then you’re probably still tuning in to Fox News every day to see if they’ve found the weapons of mass destruction.

I have complete faith in your analysis Brian. You seem to know it all. Your correct, my food bills rising and fuel bills increasing must all be a mirage. Really the dollar has not gone down at all in the past year or two. Really there is no currency war at all and foreign countries are now not trying to run the dollar up against our strategy to bring the dollar down.

Keep posting your analysis because at this point it is pretty comical.
