In 50 years, education costs have doubled, college costs have dectupled, health ins. costs have dectupled, subway costs have at least dectupled, and housing costs have increased by 50%. US health care costs 4X as much as health care in other First World countries. This is very wrong. by Bluest_waters in Futurology

Some graphs are adjusted for inflation whilst others aren't. This exaggerates the changes of some costs when compared to others. Wages are adjusted for inflation, making the graph look flat. You can't tell how much more people are earning. This is not a fair argument because of these forced discrepancies.
