I have been looking at the Daily Treasury Statement from the Financial Management Service of the US Treasury. This data has always been available for free but it requires some programming skill to parse through the data and make sense of it.

Was the 2002-2008 Move Really Inflation?
December 29th, 2008 7 Comments
I’ve been reading for years about the inflation that is coming. Because I use the US 10 Year Bond as a gauge for the amount of inflation in the system, I have tended to discount these arguments. But is it possible that the move in all prices from 2002-2008, was actually inflation and not really growth?
