Deflated dollars trim real income despite salary gains
Ames readers learn that nominal wage increases often fail to raise purchasing power after inflation. An ISU economist explains sources of income rose 6 to 7 percent while prices climbed, cutting real gains to about 2 percent. Consumption slowed as debt rises and many practice restraint while housing remains a tax shelter and inflation lifts tax brackets. CPI July rose 6.7 percent with fuels and utilities up 11.5 percent, medical care 9.7 and food away from home 7.9. misc goods 3.6 and apparel 4.7.

New York reports a study showing fearful dental patients can undergo wisdom tooth removal without recalling the procedure. In two-step memory erasure, patients received sedatives and anesthesia so they stayed semi conscious yet remembered few details, with amnesia extending to objects and pinpricks after timing adjustments.
