Foreign trade clearly has been a reason why inflation has been low.

There are always, of course, job losses of a cyclical nature in a recession.

Inflation outstripped real wages for people who work for pay from others.

At the insistence of the Bush administration, Congress in 2006 passed legislation that required the Postal Service to prefund, over a 10-year period, 75 years of future retiree health benefits.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

Democracy is only an experiment in government, and it has the obvious disadvantage of merely counting votes instead of weighing them.
