No inflation?

Yesterday I bought gas for the first time in about a week.  I paid 25 cents/gallon more than a week ago.  By my calculation, ($2.90 vs. $2.65) that's 9.4% price inflation.  We're entering into a seasonally stronger period of the year for gasoline consumption.  I doubt prices will retreat anytime soon. 

Last week I picked up some 80/20 ground beef to make tacos.  80/20 has 20% fat and I prefer it for making tacos because of the high flavor factor.  It also happens to be the less expensive than lower fat content ground beef.  I paid roughly 30% more in price than the last time I purchased ground beef, which was about 2 months ago.  I have read several accountings, plus a personal accounting from someone who knows a couple of cattle ranchers, that cattle herds are being reduced because of the high cost of feeding them.

But, oh ya, by the Government's "core" CPI measurement, the one which Bernanke prays to and preaches from - the one which excludes food and energy costs - there is no inflation...

I hope everyone is beginning to see what's going on here and has made a decision to convert as much of their fiat funny money into gold and silver as they can.  I don't know when, but at some point it will be very difficult and expensive and to buy gold and silver that is trustworthy and of which you can take physical delivery.
