How can you state that

How can you state that inflation doesn't change prices? Those of us on fixed incomes tied to the govcorp annual CPI inflationary lie continue to lose buying power. Prices in this area are rising 15% per month over the last six months and that does not reflect gasoline. The reality is that prices are not rising but the value of the dollar is falling. The prices seen are merely indicative of the rate that the dollar value has collapsed. Your advice to eat wild foods is something out of a sixties hippie trip..it's -5F below right now, tough on dandelion greens. Sorry to be harsh Mr. Brewer but you need to get back into Fortran-77 or C++ and leave economics to those grounded in the real world.
