Peter Schiff says inflation is 20% if measured using the same indices we used in 1980. No way is it only 8%.

Government “reduces” inflation by adjusting how it’s calculated.

Mindboggling that someone with TarQueen's voting history has the ballsack (stupidity?) to post stuff like this.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thinking inflation is closer to 30%
Motels are up 50% in the past 2 years.... Same motels in the same cities/town that I have stayed at while traveling.
Meals are up 33% eating the same meals at the same restaurants while traveling. Plus, when we eat out where we live. Lunch used to be in the $25 range and now it is nearing $40-$50 for the 2 of us.
Grocery store pricing is up 20% to 50% on select items. Makes one really look at the items. I could be more specific on item by item, however I do the grocery shopping and have noticed a big up swing in all categories.
Fuel pricing is up about 40% from a year ago. I have a log and keep track of every fill up, with location and grade of fuel purchased.
Home Depot pricing is up 20% to 40% on like items that I purchase every year.
however, the government is able to move what is counted around in determining inflation.

I don't believe the inflationn calculation accurately takes into account "shrinkflation", or the shrinking of the amount of a product in a package. Some goods obviously have a standard unit of measure (gallon of milk, pound of beef etc.) Many others do not.

A bag of dog food that I buy is up from $45 to almost $60 in 2 years, and has been reduced from 30# to 28#.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

JFC printing trillions of dollars out of thin air and then dispensing it to people, wtf did they think was going to happen? In fact, they knew exactly what would happen, it's econ 101. All part of the planned destruction.

None of that money dispensed my way. Add in the low stock of staples, and seldom seeing sales. We routinely buy items with long shelf life when discounted. The gov. doesn't factor in food, energy, medical.
The usual list: FOOD. already mentioned CLOTHING. Easily way up SHELTER. rents and payments rising; we are paid off but property tax, insurance are increasing on a fixed income. ENERGY. green deal issues strangling us.
