About three weeks ago on NPR they were talking about how there is no inflation.  But then the VERY next segment was about the rising cost of tuition and then a few days later on the crazy disparity of health care costs.  One caller was brave enough to call in and mention how high gold has shot up in the past 6 months but he was put on the spot and couldn’t think of any other “signs” of inflation.  They kept going back to “the cost of milk at your grocery store hasn’t gone up”.  I couldn’t get to a phone fast enough to back him up but. . . its just so obvious to me.  Whatever the government touches instantly causes the cost of that thing to go up.  They print money, pump it into in-expensive loans for <insert vital thing we all “need” here>, it causes a bubble. . . costs shoot up and we all suffer when it pops.  When no one can afford quality higher education and enrollment tanks there are going to be a LOT of Universities shutting down.  Massive disruption.  :-(
