Hi Harry,
There are simple solutions to these inflation problems which will keep your
budget intact:
1) downsize to a smaller cat, it will eat less cat food (and, as an added
bonus use less cat liter which will save even more money)
2) get a face lift ... this will tighten anything which sags ... depending
on your circumstances, you may be able to cut the facial tissues in half
before using them
3) go on a diet ... this will not only reduce the amount of spaghetti sauce
you require, but may potentially reduce medical costs which are rising much
faster than spaghetti sauce
4) remember that you are saving taxes courtesy of the new CPI! Without the
"adjustments", the costs of social security, Medicare, government salaries,
government pensions, et al, would be much higher. You should be even happier
to learn that AG has proposed some additional "adjustments" which, he
assures Congress, will cut the CPI further.

In regards to inflation. One of the things I have noticed over the last
couple of years..........it seems to be accelerating, especially food
shopping, is that the price will stay the same but you get less in the
package. My cat food used to be 20 lbs. it's now 18, and I noticed one is
down to 16 lbs. The facial tissues I buy used to be a 175
count..........it's now down to 145........same box though. Two ounces are
now missing from my favorite spaghetti sauce. Many canned goods used to be
16 ounces.....no more. I guess they figure most people just look at the
price. I wonder if the government takes this kind of price increase into
account when they figure cpi? Not that I believe those figures anyway.

In looking for something to do I started to scan my stock list. All I can
say is that things look real ugly right now. In many instances price
didn't rally much in the face of good news, short covering and bargain
hunting. With expiration tomorrow it appears that a lot of puts might get
exercised. If that does in fact occur there will be more downside pressure
on the markets. Monday's price action should be interesting.
The inflation report today didn't help things any. Another move in gas
prices to over $2 per gallon in my area reinforces what I have been saying
for months. The government may not realize that there is inflation by their
numbers, but by mine, the cost of living has been increasing across the
board for a couple of years.
Have a good week end. Ira
