The New CPI Is Better, More Precise Than the Old CPI

This article is so full of bull it would make great hamburgers. The published CPI numbers are so far off that they don't even begin to match reality. PLEASE go look at the REAL CPI numbers on shadowstats.com by John Williams--and read Kevin Phillips' great article about the origins of the deceptions in HARPERS' magazine a couple of months ago. And there is no such thing as "core" inflation in the real world---everybody needs to eat and use energy every month, no matter what the government says. It's just another "adjustment" to make embarrasing numbers look better. Reality will eventually have its way, and the American people may someday finally realize that they've been had by the self-serving crooks in Washington.
