CPI REPORT DID NOT
INCLUDE ENERGY COSTS
By JOHN CRUDELE
NY POST
Did Washington eliminate the rising price of oil from
the last Consumer Price Index?
[snip]
Yes, we have been having *LOW INFLATION* lately.
It seems to me that really
means that falling energy prices (and, I would also speculate(sic!):
food production prices, and probably the prices of other
"raw materials"!) have been *falling* so that the *increase*
in prices for production and distribution and advertising
and policing and so forth... of everything has been OBFUSCATED!
Voodoo economics (along, of course,
with psycho-physics!) is the most advanced exact rigorous
mathematical science, and appropriately deserves funding
instead of such dead pseudo-sciences as Marxism and
Husserlean phenomenology!
It seems to me that *real* low inflation would be where
energy prices and prices paid to farmers and to
raw materials producers of all kinds were *rising*,
and, still, both the Producer and Consumer price
indexes were steady (and, of course, both those indexes
included all significant factors)!
We are living in good times!
