21. Prices of yachts and diamond bangles probably not rising near the % that milk, produce, rent, & kids shoes are

Seems there are some great deals on Ebola Cruises for those few who have discretionary funds. Considering the die of among the country club/regular golfers generation, there might be lower inflation on fancy club memberships.

But people who actually work and have to live on wages are NOT doing OK. These 'economic experts need to have their bank cards and house/car keys confiscated so they can spend 6 months at a real job and living off the wages Americans are struggling with. Make them put down a deposit and pay rent, ride the bus, and try to fill the larders in their tiny apartments on what corporations are willing to pay the regular workers who actually power the US economy.
