...at least according to the government. In last Friday's release of the CPI, the ten-year change in consumer prices dropped to its lowest level in over forty years. Over the last ten years the CPI has risen 25.97%. The chart below shows the rolling ten-year change in the CPI. Not since June 1969 has the ten-year rate of change been this low.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
