I am sorry Bob... but inflation, its causes and solutions are in reality a far more complex problem situation then your little one sentence "lets box it up in a neat little nutshell" description below. We have all kinds of national institutions who keep an eye on that kind of thing for us. To inject this kinda thing into a general discussion on how we, as basically underpaid, under-understood, and under-appreciated professionals react to general increases in cost of living is off the point. Besides.. if you first should consider this point... It is simply not up to piano techs and other such self employed to take on the responsibility of holding inflation down. my view RptBob1@AOL.COM wrote: > In a message dated 3/8/00 2:35:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, > jformsma@dixie-net.com writes: > > << when you will pay $10 more for > groceries per week, that is where you can see your buying power decrease.
