Exactly like that, Andy. You'll notice that I specifically said that said goobermint data can be ''spectacularly wrong''. BLS inflation figures are a crock in any case; ''core inflation'' is a laughably phony figure, and anyone with an IQ above room temp knows it. You probably don't follow the natural gas mkt, but there is **STILL** bitching going on about some superfunky data they released in August 2001. Gotta be careful with goobermint figs, but it does NOT pay to disbelieve them out of hand, right?
Also, have you ever noticed how frequently goobermint revises the stats it releases? Isn't that just another way of saying, ''Hey, folks, this is crapola in the first place!''?
