CPI - The Government is Cheating - CALL CONGRESS

They're throwing Granny under the bus - both Democrats AND Republicans.

Oh, and you too - if your wages are indexed to inflation.

Are you going to sit for it?

I have a question, Kdenninger. About inflation, if prices increase, my wage decrease? I am only making $8.50 an hour as a ramp agent at a local airport and if it decreases below The New York state minimum wage, I am quitting that job and boycott.

This is insane that The U.S. will be and has been showing signs of beyond another Great Depression, but the movements of the NWO.

Fuuuuuk that...I am not going to school to get a job and have a family so my children can choose between dying in a war or having the life sucked out of them...what good is it to 'let the bloody thing come apart' are you mad, or are you part of the problem? Do something, and do something other than beating a war/despair drum!

Well then...what is the solution?

to your blog comments, i agree completely, but none of this will occur until "after the depression".

we have lived on "beg thy neighbor" for so many decades we assume we can sell treasuries, cdo's, siv's etc. for ever, we can't.

let the bloody thing come apart.

jefferson had one of the best lines "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike, it's a natural manure"

it will not be fixed by congress or any other government entity, it must run the course.

The BLS releases both seasonally-adjusted and non-seasonally-adjusted numbers at the same time. They are both prominently displayed on the BLS website. Food and oil are also completely accounted for in the CPI numbers. It's not a conspiracy, you just don't know what you're talking about. The basket of goods used to compute the CPI is not set by the government, but by consumers themselves. I highly suggest educating yourself about both the CPI and statistical methods.

the idea that calling congress will help is false.

congress is not the solution, it is the problem

for decades it has slowly given all it's powers to the executive branch and presently reminds us of the roman senate in it's last throws.

the idea that inflation, the dollar, housing, exporting of jobs can be fixed by the exact same people who caused the problem to begin with is an illusion.

Could we get another petition going to stop BERNANKECHRIST from destroying what's ;eft of our dollar?

I signed the petition to impeach Bush for the Bear Stearns hijacking. I got a letter back from my Congress person and she agreed completely.

There are over 24 million Americans on disability. Which means 24 million on a fixed income. Some people already have to choose between medicines and food.
