Nope! We want to party like it's 1999 again.

My own rule of thumb from lifelong observation and real world
buying power of the dollar is that gas at $ 2.90 a gallon is equal
to about about $0.32 in 1970 dollars. The only thing that makes
gas seem expensive to me is the low amount I can buy with a measely
retirement income.
And the guv'ment COLA on the SS portion sure doesn't reflect the real
picture, eh?
