You are living proof that the above is a lie, KKKwifi.

Where is the 'whitey' tape, KKKwifi?

Where is the 'Obama calls Palin a Pig' tape, KKKwifi?

You are totally nuts. A gallon of gas, a magazine, a paperback, a pack
of cigs, a six pack, were all a quarter in 1964. A .Colt 1911 .45
pistol was $62.50. Levi's were $2.25.

Alaska should lead the nation in Per Capita Earmarks.

So, you admit that McCain and Palin are liars. That's the first honest
thing that you have written in two months, KKKwifi.

Where is the 'whitey' tape, KKKwifi?

When Palin was Mayor she brought in the same amount of earmarks as Boise -
a city of 200,000.

Go check what? My point was that the factor of six figure was bogus.
What am I supposed to check? That gas and cigs were a quarter in 64?
I was there.

The $6.83 figure is accurate.

www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm says a 1964
dollar had the same buying power as $6.83 in 2008.

http://www.coinnews.net/tools/cpi-inflation-calculator/ says
it's $7.10.

The CPI is determined by a basket of goods sold for then and the same
basket of goods now, not all things
go up in price the same way or amount . Gas is now $4.00 and cigarettes
are are what? $4.50- $5.00 a pack?
I was also there in 64, I don't know what you were smoking, but a pack
of cigarettes were about 50 cents a pack
in 64.

The $6.83 figure is accurate.

Sure it is. As you would have it, not 6.82 or 6.84.

Come back when you have something not prima facie bogus.

You're both wrong. I was paying a dime for a pack of cigs in '64.
And a nickel for a Snickers bar.
Dill pickles could be had for a song, and there was a Coke machine in
the Sears on 79th St. that dispensed an 8-ounce cup for a nickel.
Movies were about 2-bits.
Twinkies were the rage.
Bye Bye American pie.

It's not bogus, though it's slightly low. The correct
figure is $7.09561.

ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt

Consumer Price Index in August, 1964: 31.0
Consumer Price Index in August, 2008: 219.964

219.964/31.0 = 7.09561

Sucks to be wrong, huh? But, I bet that you're used to it.

Come back when you need another lesson.
