Seems to me you are simply naive about the economy. If this post is an 
example of your cold logic, you are wasting your time on me. Inflation is 
inevitable. Humans strive to do better than others. This pushes prices or 
wages. Many pensions and certainly all stock profits derive from the system 
that provides capital, a necessary ingredient in any healthy industrial 
economy. Those who receive Social Security have achieved that reward by 
being productive for many years, now stepping down to let others have their 
chance.

 Logically the only

Prices will always rise unless there is a depression. It is inevitable. It 
is the result of human nature acting in a capitalistic system.

James, I'm sorry, but the rest of your post is gibberish to my mind. It 
would be a waste of my time to try to decipher it and try to respond in a 
responsible manner. Let's just agree to disagree.
