Inflation and Deflation
Paying more for less
Paying more for less

I cannot understand why American consumers are not up in arms when they hear the government saying that inflation is very low. Do these people not go shopping? Since my wife passed away, I do all the shopping, and I can tell you that what the government is telling you is only half the story. The prices may still be the same but the quantity is less. What was 16 ounces is now 14. What was four in a pack is now three. A roll of toilet tissue filled the roller; now there is a quarter-inch gap on either side. You are essentially paying much more for items and receiving less. Walter Hellwig Palmer Township
