Those statistics are under inflated.It should be much higher at 35% or more.Prices have increased a lot in the past 8 months.

a 10% inflation rate is healthy as it incentivizes work. one of the most self destructive things the US did in the late 70s and early 80s was to kill off its inflation. that was the turning point in the american economy, transforming it into a bunch of debtors.

and 22% inflation is not 10%, is it?

and the US economy is in a heck of a lot better shape than one that's based on sales of a single commodity.
