Home House Prices go floosh!
i noticed in Florida panhandle that apartment complexes are offering specials like 1 month free rent , so I wonder if that is factored into the CPI calculations for housing costs...
Basically, steak == hamburgers. There's been no inflation in the cost of a car, because your basic cheapest possible car you can buy has a bunch of useless crap in it, and therefore you bought a much better vehicle than you did in 2000 - even though it costs 4 times as much, it has 4x the features, therefore, there's been no inflation.
I thought at least September 2022's CPI (include food and energy) would be no more than 7.9%.
I saw that Social Security is going up 8.7% in 2023.
