Subject: Re: Inflation is dropping on the chart
TJ,

That is nicely stated. I go see old friends up the road in a small, poor city. I hang out for a few hours each evening with people. Some are well off, but most are not getting by.

Many people are poor enough not to get by. That does not mean they do not exist. It does not mean they do not eat. It does not mean they don't gamble or do drugs, drink to excess, or not smoke. It is all of the above. It is a living hell. We can say what do you expect? But we expect a lot, and they expect nothing.

We have not been raising anyone out of poverty for a long time now.
