You then equated "foreign travel" with "imports." That's incorrect.

B'zzzt. Incorrect on your part. Imports are "foreign sources." You denied that they were included. You said it. I didn't. Now you say:

"Imports to the U.S. *are* counted in the CPI figures."

Nice debating with you.

"B'zzzt. Incorrect on your part. Imports are "foreign sources." You denied that they were included. You said it. I didn't."

No. I said that foreign travel wasn't included in the CPI. This is correct.

You said that meant that imports from foreign lands weren't included. That's incorrect.

Perhaps I'll have to repeat this multiple times before you grasp it. So be it.
