Most of those facts are incorrect. \n\nOil prices up until two months ago were the highest since the mid 1980s (relative to the dollar value). The price drop pre-election has already started to reverse, by +10cents in the past two days.\n\nSure, taxes are lower. But deficit spending has been at an all-time high, and the federal national debt has more than doubled in the past 6 years alone. In other words, we're gotten more in debt since Bush took office than in the past century before that.\n\nInflation is maintaining roughly the same rate as the past 15 years.\n\nYes, home values are double what they were five years ago. Which means that half as many people can afford to buy a house.\n\nForeign terrorist attacks on US soil occur on average every 7-9 years. So, the current regime doesn't get any credit for not blowing that by having one occur sooner.

Used to be $2.21 as I remember. I saw yesterday the gas station near my house was $2.33. The low gas prices arguement was used by the GOP as a campaign tool and now they still lost. So, it is rising again.

False: the CPI is (at least supposedly) a measure of the inflation rate. It has been at or about 3% since it has been calculated.\n\nThe "supposedly" is to point out that many economists believe that the CPI is a flawed measure of the actual inflation rate, as it overstates the actual amount of inflation for most goods. The GDP deflator has been suggested as an alternative, but it tends to understate inflation, so a better alternative would likely be a retooled CPI.

It's increased about 7%.\n\nThere's a calculator here: http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl\n\nThe actual raw data with all the historical numbers is here: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/home.htm

Inflation, which is a measure of the rising living costs, was 3.4% last year, meaning that an average basket of goods and services got more expensive in the ammount of 3.4%.\nYou can check this regularly by visiting your country's Labor Dept (dol.gov), who's in charge of reporting the inflation data as well as the unemployment rate, etc.\nThe 2005 inflation rate was the highest since 2000.

Today it's\n2.15 Reals\n\nEarlier this year it was $1 for 2.40\n\nSo the dollar is loosing ground

WASHINGTON - Inflation slowed sharply in February as food costs moderated and the price of gasoline, natural gas and other energy products posted big declines. \n\nThe Labor Department reported Thursday that its closely watched     Consumer Price Index posted a tiny 0.1 percent increase last month after having jumped 0.7 percent in January.\n\nAnalysts said the slowdown in price pressures was certain to be welcomed at the     Federal Reserve, which has been boosting interest rates since June 2004 to make sure inflation does not get out of control.

From the Federal Reserve, inflation rate is as follows:\n\n2000 = 3.4\n2001 = 2.8\n2002 = 1.6\n2003 = 2.3\n2004 = 2.7 \n2005 = 3.4 \n2006* = 3.7 \n\n*An estimate for 2006 is based on the change in the CPI from fourth quarter 2004 to fourth quarter 2005.

Adjusted to the US CPI (Consumer Price Index) for inflation, 2.5 million dollars in 1961 would represent purchasing power of $15,592,407.14 at the end of 2005.\n\nThis is the best way to calculate purchasing power, as rates of return vary all over the spectrum depending on investment type, risk level, etc.  \n\nYou could also have bought Enron stock along the way and lost it all.  So, for most examples, CPI adjusted values are the best method of estimating current value of past monetary values.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.\n\nP.S.  Add 1.4% to adjust from year-end 2005 to June 1, 2006.

not quite what your are after but\n\nthe retail price index has a base of 100 in 1987 and is currently 195.5\n\nso i would suggest that £200 would be about right.
