How about instead of working off of BLS manipulated numbers we worry about the inflation that the median employed taxpaying US citizen experiences in daily life inlcuing "volatile" things like food, energy, clothing and shelter AND inScreased non-optional taxes and fees - the things we all pay to get along with our lives.
With a 34 trillion dollar debt,and continuing deficits, some combination of recession and inflation is inevitable.
The FED knows better than to cut anytime soon, fortunately.
