Wasnt the estimate anyway 0.3 instead of 0.4? I think 0.4 would have been bad for the market.

Food has doubled in the last year. Rents are up. Gas is higher. Medical dental and medications are through the roof. Taxes are higher since everything costs more. Clothing is outrageous. Honestly what hasn't gone up? Oh wages and social security hasn't gone up.
