The Fed is likely unhappy about the Consumer Price Index (CPI) printing at -0.3% in November.

Watch the CPI shell game in action. There are two primary CPI figures reported: the total CPI and the core CPI eliminating energy and food. In November the total CPI as -0.3% and the core CPI was +0.1%, so the smaller of the two is focused on. When energy prices go up, the core CPI is the smaller one so it is put in the front.

Dems. Clueless about what makes an economy run better. What a surprise. And the fact that the CPI no longer includes the cost of food or energy doesn't make the problem any more solvable.
