[Milsurplus] FS: RAT-1 rcvrs @ War Assets Admimistration

[joldenburg2 at new.rr.com]

The NASA C.P.I. Inflation calculator puts $57 -$75 in 1948 dollars being the 2010 equivalent of $516.02 to $678.98. Sill sound cheap to you guy's?

It even worse in actuality as the Gov'mt skews the numbers on housing and transportaion though it's selection of areas to base this upon.

When I graduated high school in 1955, $100/week was
considered to be pretty good pay!
 
As a 2d Lt on flying status in USAF in 1961, my total
pay was around $455 per month, not much better!
