Hi Steve.
Same sort of thing as a trade deficit report which excludes petroleum products. Sometimes even economists forget - or ignore - the definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply.
You can't even get good figures on money supply, they've got M1, M2,M3.... . The more I try to understand the FED, the more I have to question the loyalities of those
b@stards in 1913. I think they did more to destroy this nation than any foreign power ever could.
