As long as Barry has his golf, basketball, ice cream, waffles, wagyu beef, arugula, lobster, champagne and a fully fueled AF1 at the ready, he'll always be a worry free and happy camper.

So if you don’t need to travel to a job or eat, everything’s fine! Don’t worry, be happy! There’s unemployment, and foodstamps, and everything!

By the time this fool is done with his four years it possibly could take a two term President to turn this around. When the next guy takes over, I'm sure this is what he will plead in his re-election campaign.
That seems to be the cycle.

To: Red Badger
They try to get the inflation figure from things that are more stable and rise and fall slowly so that trends may be deduced... If we look at gold (yes, I know it's just a commodity, with no magical powers whatsoever) we can see that a dollar today is worth approximately 1.4 cents from a century ago. Do we really need a 'basket of prices' to tell us what one fairly stable commodity tells us?
Yeah, gold bugs are supposed to be crazy, but Occam's Razor supports a pure gold standard in practical inflation indexing. On the other hand, Occam's Razor doesn't keep economists employed full-time by the government, so it must not make any economic sense... :)

Outside of food and energy costs, the core index ticked up 0.2 percent
A number relevant only to Billionaires, Sheiks and Kings.

Looks like Obama really is trying to beat Carter as the worst President in history. Hell, he had Carter beat for that title before he finished the first year of office!

“We need laws to prevent people who draw a govt check from voting for more govt checks.”
How about we just end the use of other people’s money. End entitlement programs, and we don’t have to worry about it. Then people can vote, according to the constitutional guidelines set.

Timmy boy comes out and announced devaluation Since our currency isn't fixed (meaning the value floats), Timmy doesn't get to announce a new value, higher or lower.

To: MarkL
One of the sneaky things theyve been doing for some time now is keeping prices the same, or increasing by small increments, but making the package size smaller. That's accounted for in calculating the price indexes. If a 5oz can of tuna costs a dollar, and drops to 4oz but staying a dollar, BLS would record that as a 25% price increase.

This government is desperately attempting to hold the seams together on a catastrophic economic and financial disaster. They print money like Charmin prints toilet paper. They sell T Bills probably weekly now when they only used to do it every year or semi annually. When no one buys the damned CDs, they print up some phoney money and buy the T-Bills themselves....use one plastic card to pay off another (sound familiar?).
...meanwhile, Obama is so indebted to unions, no-good entitlement leeches, socialists, Muslims and every useless sect of the world, he's adamantly insisting on vastly increased payments, expenditures and implementation costs that are overexpended in one month (i.e., February this year) as much as the entire year in 2007.
Hold tight, because when this shitbag bursts, it is gonna get real messy! Obama doesn't care; it is his plan. Besides, he's gonna be somewhere exotic (again) on a well-deserved 10th vacation this year......(e.g., in Rio this weekend while Japan is struggling for its life).
