The second specifically says this…

“”An inflation gauge tied to consumer spending was up just 0.9 percent in February””

Sounds like they are trumpeting the one, low, Obama-sycophantic inflation rate as I said.

Please quote to me in any of those articles where a second non-core inflation rate was actually documented.

When the next inflation article is posted, from Marketwatch, CNBC, Reuters, or AP on April 15th, do you want me to ping you? They’re usually in Breaking News.

Gosh, must be the stimulus wasn’t big enough — which is hard to explain, considering that DC was an all-Demwit show at the time it was passed.

If you look around at the leftist scumbags online, you’ll find that Obama *never* had both houses. Why? Because he didn’t have 60 or more votes in the Senate, meaning, 60 Demwits sitting there to rubberstamp his agenda.

IOW, all leftist scumbags are baldfaced liars.

Thanks Kaslin.

> We do here but “urban” America and Amish country is where it needs to happen.

I do think the Dems just outright stole the last election from gullible, stupid GOPe’s.

On every level from activating / fooling demographics into voting to outright fraud for which there were little mechanisms in place to detect it. They saw advantages that their asleep at the wheel politicians missed. If that didn’t hurt enough they probably paid off politicians to assist them

Wow! Why are the Feds garnishing 75% of his paycheck? Student Loans? IRS problems?

Just Wow!!!!

Ronald Reagan quotes live on and on:

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I'm from the government and I'm here to help.’”

“I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.”

“A taxpayer is someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take a civil-service exam.”

And that’s not even high dollar rent. Therein lies the problem. The government forgets all the differnt ways they tax us (sales tax, luxury tax, phone fees, property taxes, income tax, all these damn regulatory fees we pay when we have our oil changed or receive services.............

You, know I think all taxes (local, state and fed) should be part of the CPI. There I said it!

Dead on. The politicians give out our money, much of which is designed to maintain the employment of govt bureaucrats, who tend to retard economic development rather than enhance it. Even Keynes believed that stimulus money should be used to drive the private sector.

There’s also a difference between 2% growth when the economy has been doing well, and 2% growth on the tails of the economy continuing to fail to recover.

Why certainly! Please ping me on that date to prove to me that FINANCIAL media outlets aimed at the 1rudeboys of the world provide both measures of inflation. That will be a stunning insight!

Meanwhile, you couldn’t find the quotes in my links to document that the Atlanta Journals, New York Times, DesertNewses Pioneer Presses, Valley Buglers, Peoria Pissants, the local CBS affiliates of the media world provide BOTH inflation measures. Even some of those bozos must wonder about CPI staying low when gas is back to $4 per gallon.

C’mon, its obvious that the “Media” obscures from the Obama voters of the world that there are realistic inflation measures which would diminish the One’s popularity.

Fair enough, I’ll leave you to get your economic news from non-financials sources, that write the same thing that you choose to ignore.

And I’ll leave you to defend the position that an well meaning objective media is fully informing our populace about our economic performance.

Again, fair enough . . . I’ll leave you to your fantasy. Unless you actually care to think about it, and show me where I said that the “well meaning objective media is fully informing our populace about our economic performance.”

Go back and look. You defended the media with your response to my post critical of the media’s general Obama economic propaganda by citing the pre-eminent financial outlet. The WSJ exception that proved the rule.

You obviously felt my characterization of the media was wrong and unfair and they is doing a great job in reporting inflation metrics so that all the Obama voters are well informed about our economy. Who’s fantasy is more real?

You wrote, "and the media reports only one of them." I can give you plenty of examples where they report both. Showing me examples where the media reports one and not the other proves nothing. In short, you made a sweeping generalization that is not true.

And by pointing it out to you, I am not saying the media is "objective," "well-meaning," or "fully informing." You simply made it up.

I consider attorneys a belwether. If attorneys stop voting for liberals they are in big trouble. It means the agenda is too liberal for normal liberals, only the real nutcase, wild eyed left wing is left for support. Attorneys will vote for any kind of fruitcake democrat as long as their ox is not being gored, start goring the attorney’s oxen and they will turn nasty.

If I understand the system we OVERSTATE GDP by the same percentage as we UNDERSTATE inflation and inflation is absurdly understated. Anyone who believes the official inflation figures should be making plans to watch for the Easter Bunny soon and to greet the Great Pumpkin on Halloween night.

They keep pushing the fallacy that there is such a thing as “too low” inflation. That strikes me as about as silly as saying that some people are too healthy and should learn to be sick more often. I simply don’t believe that two percent annual inflation is better for the economy than one half of one percent annual inflation.

A matter of opinion I would say. If we eliminated all the EBT cards and other federal programs that we have now that did not exist in the thirties I think things would look far worse now than then. We are covering up a lot by creating money out of thin air and redistributing income to support the helpless by robbing the productive.

One can only push that so far. If your farms aren’t capable of feeding the nation, no amount of hocus pocus will change it.
