32. Don't forget prices for prescription drugs --
which are through the roof, and insurance costs, and housing, and education and child care. In my area at least, these things have all increased hugely.

I don't know how they calculate inflation, really. But it's clearly not measuring the real costs of living. Cheap plastic crap from China and Walmart clothes are even cheaper than they ever were -- maybe that's it. Frankly, I'd rather have affordable health care than a $10 toaster.
