I’m not an economist and might not follow a detailed discussion, but I’ve long wondered how cooked the employment and cpi numbers are. I suspect they’re often cooked. Of course the cpi that “excludes volatile food and e Getty” is a joke on its face
Yes, but you see, now that gasoline prices have come down by 30 cents/gallon, that means inflation is less ... because “always volatile gasoline prices and food prices” were excluded from inflation when inflation was going up. Right?
