Lets talk inflation, in 1988 you could have bought a comact car with AC and an automatic trans for about 12k, that 12k today gets you the same car only the new one has these additional features: air bags, anti lock brakes, anti sway control, power windows, power locks and an alarm system.
That's kind of true, but it was the efficiency of capitalism using the global market place, robotics, CAD engineering, internet technology sharing, internet managed on time supply, new technologies in strip mining, etc that has allowed car companies (and electronics, computers) to bring prices down while dealing with inflation.
You're example doesn't relate to the effect of printing fiat money on paper markets or inflation in goods that can't capitalize on efficiency.
The Ford Fiesta at 13K is a terrific car.

Way back when I went to Colege I did take some Economics classes.
One Of the things that was taught:
To get an economy going IS to spend Money(Government Spending). It(spending) acts as a "primer".
TO ALL:
ENOUGH OF THIS HORSESHIT POLITICS CRAP.
THIS THREAD IS ABOUT JOHN MELENDEZ

Always amazes me that men work their whole lives to support some leech, and then they get dumped for something as ridiculous as Suzanner's relationship with Beth being hurt by John feuding with Howard.
Why me, why me?
The price of oil has doubled. The price of wheat has doubled. The price of gold has doubled. Virtually every commodity which is measured in dollars costs TWICE what it cost 5 years ago.
They have all doubled because the US government has doubled the supply of money since Obama has been in office.
It's really not complicated, but it never gets discussed.
"Hysterical and simpleton " do not apply to VG's posts.
You are quite hyperbolic.
At some point or another we all disagree on here, yet what you bring to the table is calling people faggots.
P.S. Anyone invested in our current two party system, could be called a simpleton .![]()
Lmfao...what "table" do you think you're at? Meet The Fucking Press?
She deserves the same scorn every tedious, ad nauseam, thread hijacking political bleater in here does.
How about I amend "hysterical simpleton" to...."shrill hosebag"? Happy now?
P.S. She's still not gonna fuck you.![]()
It has NOTHING to do with "green boondoggle"
Simply They are being BULLIED into Cheap Prices. You want to do business in ChiTown? This is what we DEMAND or get the F out.
It's good in the Short term.
As long as you don't have any major catastrophes hit your area.
Look at Sandy and Long Island with LIPA.
Quite a bit was posted here about the "cost cutting measures" over the years.
It led to Hundreds of thousands being without power even BEFORE the strongest part of the storm hit LI...And continued(without power) for over 2 weeks for over 70,000.

Please would you stop with the facepalm and straw man of Fox News as a point of argument. You sound like a douche asshole.
As for the real world, if solar or thermal or algae biofuel were economically better than oil, coal, nuclear or dam hydro we'd all be running to the door to get it. The technology isn't there yet. Spread all the pixie dust or lies you want.
I'm familiar with FPL and the boondoggle that it is and it's long term failings in bringing down the coast of energy to the good folks of Florida.
Instead I googled Obama Green Initiatives Investments. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Check out some of Spazz's Geothermal work that he has posted on here.
Guess that is just some smoke/mirrors and voodoo.
Again turn off that sewage that is faux news.. You will be a BETTER AND HAPPIER person
