Wikileaks Christmas Surprise – JimmyLlama

Wikileaks Christmas Surprise written by JimmyLlama  Dec 3, 2017 (shared with written permission) The Christmas season is officially in full swing and for many that means the great holiday stress of 2017 is kicking into high gear.  So, in the spirit of the holiday cheer I would like to divert your attention to something a little more fun and exciting than worrying about the Christmas crowds, Bob from accounting drinking too much eggnog at the office party, or getting out all of those Christmas cards:  Wikileaks.

Clearly, both rising costs and stagnating income cause households to lose ground, i.e. their income buys fewer goods and services every year. I’ve often covered the dynamics of stagnating income for the bottom 95%, and real-world inflation, i.e. a decline in purchasing power. But...
