Inflation: Not as low as we’ve been told. CPI is up 3.1% but everyday prices are up 8% according to the American Institute for Economic Research. Why? The CPI includes the price of durable goods like houses, furniture, appliances, cars, computers, etc. The AIER focuses on consumables and services – food, gas, child care, medicine, phone and cable service and household products. Inflation, GDP, unemployment – none of the “official” numbers seem to make sense these days. Wonder why?

Figures don't lie, but liars can figure!
I thinks it's because the majority of the ass-hats in this administration are all POLI-SCI and Humanities majors, primarily because they hated math and the hard sciences, and they could never make their slide rulers work properly. As long as the equation looks mathematical and fills the blackboard it must be correct and as long as the answer looks like a number, any number, they're just happy to have gotten an answer. Whatever they get can always be manipulated by the math whizzes they have on the payroll.
What? Like we expect even the smallest shred of honesty from these guys? I figure that there is nothing that comes from them that should be trusted.
The numbers can be changed to say anything that those who are publishing them want them to say.
We can walk it all back to a debased dollar.
