There you go again, Ray. Real interest rates in 1980 were, on average,
about 18% (nominal) - 12% (inflation) = 6%. Now, in 1984, they are
about 14% (nominal) - 4% (inflation) =10%, nearly twice as high.
I can't bear to see you get away with saying they are the same.

Note: All figures to the best of my recollection. If I'm off by one
percent, I don't care to hear about it. As the President might say,
"Details are what killed my predecessor."
