3% last year, 4.4% hike in 2014 for direct TV/dish.
But in Bens world it is sharper and better and the football games are Pinker so it is really cheaper than it was....cheaper than it was.....cheaper than it was....cheaper than it was....
I have found that if you are no longer under contract with DirecTV you can call them and tell them you are looking at going with a competitor (I mention AT&T) and ask "give me your best discount." They only discount you for a year so you have to do it again when regular rate returns to your bill.

I voluntarily buy a very tasty sandwich once in a while at a certain airport, the price of this sandwich has doubled over the past year and doubled again a few months ago. there is a long line for tasty sandwiches to go every time I go, and I voluntarily stand in line for a tasty sandwich
I conclude therefore that all prices have quadrupled last year, and that's the real inflation, not the low aggregate inflation figure for "everything" that's reported by the Fed and other agencies
I also believe that if the price of another commodity besides tasty sandwiches has not quadrupled in that time, then the prices for that thing are Manipulated and will soon quadruple too.

That's what I just did and they upgraded all my dvr's and the rest of the hard ware for free.
<< <i>TV used to be free with 3 channels. Now we have 200 and have to pay. Sheesh!!! >>
We got 4 channels in the early 1970's with an antenna. ABC, CBS, NBC and a PBS (or some similar public channel) were available free. My Dad was still pulling silver from circulation then.
In the mid-1970's we got cable TV for $9.95/month. It included channels 2 thru 13 only and the "big deal" was getting WFLD and WGN out of Chicago. At 1:00 a.m. all channels went blank and we got to look at a bullseye and listen to a smoke alarm. Nobody, and I mean nobody, had a VCR at home then. They were the size of a suitcase and cost $2,000 minimum which was HUGE money in 1976.
Now I pay $79/month for digital cable with 150 channels and have DVR included. I'm happy with that price. Merry Christmas fellas!
Let's be thankful for this day. My guess is that everyone on these boards has a better standard of living than 90% of the people who have ever lived. Be thankful for a warm bed and a good meal, something many don't have today. Be thankful for love, something many don't feel. Be thankful for all we have. We are lucky whether we know it or not.

and theres no problems with obama care either. fwiw
18% of GDP for medical care is not enough. We need more monies for Komen, St Judes and Diabetes, not to mention AIDS and all the Cancer that isn't Breast Cancer. Seems that the redistribution of wealth is going uphill to the docs, not downhill to the poor.
