for instance,

soybeans have reduced in value since the financial collapse. they have been rising recently due to the us drought. but they remain lower than prices in 2008.

therefore i think you may be referring to a rise in soybean prices between 2002 and 2008.

sure. but i think we are talking about the current environment, rather than policies in the bush years.

hi doma,

you are relitigating discussions which you have walked away from previously.

yes, some goods go up in value. especially ones that are tied to energy prices that are set by world markets. and others, like gold, that express fear in the form of price bubbles. these can pop, of course.. and others that are seasonal (eg bad drought for soybeans)

but other prices have gone down. note house prices. but also, other goods defined domestically.

overall, inflation isn't high as measured consistently by public sources, and hasn't been; regardless of the claim that hyperinflation was the imminent threat - a claim made since 2008.

can you provide sources for your numbers, perchance.
