Your link to gasoline moves in the same general direction. Based on supply and demand over the short-term these links appear elastic, however linked they are. Below is another look into some of the places where inflation is hiding.<br />http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/06/inflation-lurks-beneath-and-hidden.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-58491352796036677982014-04-28T08:41:48.430-03:002014-04-28T08:41:48.430-03:00Well said, the quick math would have these people ...Well said, the quick math would have these people commuting to work well over 100 miles a day.
