I am trying to predict ( ha ha I know economists get paid a lot of  
money for this ) what the economy is likely to do and what my best  
strategy for surviving is.  I live in Denver, CO USAville.  I am  
planning to move to a rural location.  If the US government prints and  
spends more money than they collect doesn't this make inflation  
inevitable ?   Won't prices rise on goods that are not effected by  
productivity gains and innovation ? ( real estate for example )

I have started by tracking gold prices.
I also looked at the CPI   ( consumer price index )
     The CPI does not seem to reflect the reality I know.
     The inflations of the 70s seem to be non-represented by the CPI.

Any suggestions for items to track ?  Wholesale prices ?

Are there good sites that cover this arena ?

Best
Gus
