Naw, the really stoopit part is they found a way to tamp down the real number.
Every week they have to revise their numbers and this will make the 40th week in a row they will pull this stunt.
I expect the numbers to be revised by the middle of the month, certainly by July 4th showing a sharper increase than previously reported.
I predict we go into summer @ 8.4% with a lower than expected CPI as consumers sharply decrease spending due to fears of the economy and high fuel prices.
March and April numbers have already been revised downward by 49,000.
