| SeniorCitizen and all,
What is the TRUE rate of inflation? As SeniorCitizen said in recent post, the government's inflation numbers leave much to be desired.
Received a notice from Social Security recently telling me they are raising my monthly checks by 2.8% for 2008. Is this the "official" government rate of inflation?
We all need to know the true rate of inflation. Making 4% interest at the bank with a TRUE inflation rate of 5% should have us putting our money elsewhere.
Farm land gaining 10-15% in value annually plus income from crops is--currently--a tough investment to beat. Of course, how long is this bubble good for?
Ethanol and biodiesel -- plus by-products -- may make farm land a good investment for several more years. I believe more and more people are coming to believe this.
