"Inflation is *already* factored in from *all* sources, and corrected, when someone says "CPI adjusted."
I pointed out that it certainly couldn't have included the cost of travelling abroad. You shifted then to arguing that foreign travel wasn't covered. I replied that it wasn't "ALL" sources then.
Now, your reply was: Incorrect. All American sources, yes. All foreign sources, no."
I repeat. Not *ALL* sources, eh?
By your new positon I guess imports, since they are clearly a "foreign source", aren't counted after all.
Looks like your shift has hoisted you by your own petard.
You've contradicted yourself, and your earliest position.
Nice debating with you.
Imports to the U.S. *are* counted in the CPI figures.
You said that "foreign travel" wasn't counted in the CPI. That's correct. You then equated "foreign travel" with "imports." That's incorrect.
Logic chopping is a lo-cal victory.
