They have become over-glorified welfare recipients similar to the welfare crowd they helped to create, all to get votes so they can continue their false compassion for their victims. Giving away other people's money is NOT compassion! A government without a conscience is a Tyrannical government!

You can read about it in the book I lent you by Paul Craig Roberts( is it called "The War of the Worlds"?). I think Kevin Phillips also mentions it in his book "Bad Money."When I get a chance, I will go back and look, and get back to you. I remember now -- the third thing they dropped from the CPI is taxes. Food, fuels, and taxes. Yup, if we just sorta ignore those pesky things, why, there is just no inflation to speak of....That is why our cost of living is skyrocketing, but there is 'no' inflation. I cannot recommend a better update on the economy than the columns Paul Craig Roberts publishes on various sites. You can ignore him when he opines on foreign affairs, but he is an economist, was part of Reagan's team, used to be a WSJ editor, he knows his stuff, and he tells the non-politically correct truth, which is why he is no longer a WSJ editor. Just Google his name, once or twice a month, and see what he has to say. Yup, it’s true all right.

What they did -- not the Congress, mind you, but the faceless bureaucrats who really run what used to be our nation, they dropped the prices of .... get this!!...they dropped the prices of food, energy (gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, electricity) and something else that I can't remember at the moment...because these were "too volatile." In other words, they dropped the prices of things that were going up from the Consumer Price Index, in order to try to make us believe that prices are not going up, and in order to save money by stiffing the retired population.
