If you buy washers or dryers there is no inflation.

The Fed does not count Food or Fuel or property values.

WTF?

I mean why even count anything if your not going to count food or fuel? OH, I know, you might vote against the incumbents, I get it.

Bass Turds, everyone of them.

This is the winning statement. When they say there is no inflation, or zero level inflation, what they mean is that there is no inflation OVERALL. IOW, although the prices of some things have indeed gone up, they are balanced (in their statistics) by the prices of other things going down.

Whether you think prices are going up or not therefore depends on what things you buy. I personally would argue that there has indeed been significant inflation in the cost of most of the items that most people buy on a regular basis, so as far as most people are concerned, this zero inflation figure does not in any way reflect their actual shopping experience.

Obama is an ignorant, lazy, stupid, mouthy but arrogant Liar, and the first thing he did was to start gimicking the numbers to cover up the disaster that he is.

The Second thing the next President needs to do is to order all agencies to revise the numbers using rational methods of measuring inflation and unemployment, then order all those new numbers to replace the fake ones Obama created.

The FIRST thing the next President needs to do is to order the Justice Department to prosecute anyone and everyone connected to Obama for anything and everything for which they can be prosecuted.

We need to roll up that entire pile of sh*t and throw the lot of them in Prison, including Obama.

The official reason given is that those prices are "too volatile" to include in a price index. But we all know the real reason....
