Zero inflation?

Advertisements [?]

I am not on Social Security, yet, but we know that many seniors will not get cost of living increase because the past year has had zero inflation.

But then, I got a letter from Comcast that it is raising its rate of basic cable. And, of course, Comcast has a monopoly here.

And now I came from City Hall and was told that water and sewer rates are going up 5% (I think).

And the gas company wants to increase its rate, even though all year we've heard report of glut of natural gas.

But, hey, we have "zero inflation."
