Sex and inflation

WSJ has an article explaining inflation reality verses perception. The most important information in it is in last few paragraph.
Not so long ago, inflation preoccupied Americans. A check of the Factiva electronic archives -- jointly owned by Dow Jones & Co., publisher of this newspaper, and Reuters Group PLC -- found 760,288 mentions of "inflation" from 1986 through 1996 in all publications tracked, outnumbering 636,074 mentions of "sex."

Then inflation receded. In the past 10 years, "sex" has been mentioned 3,317,716 times and "inflation" just 3,085,544 times.

But the complaining -- about the inflation measures, that is -- never stops.
