Does this look like inflation?

This data came from James Quinn. See his full discussion of the issue.

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Benjamin Franklin
Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights. John Wooden
The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-by to the Bill of Rights H. L. Mencken
Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses. Juvenal – 100 A.D.
The history of government management of money has, except for a few short happy periods, been one of incessant fraud and deception. Friedrich Hayek
Every step that leads away from private ownership of the means of production and the use of money is a step away from rational economic activity. Ludwig von Mises
