Bad hyperbole doesn't suit you.


Laugh or cry:http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf


Ds and Rs have been equally complicit in meddling with the CPI to
obscure the real cost of living "because those prices are volatile".
Ha! *Excluding the "volatile" food and energy sectors basically means
that increases in prices of necessities (food, clothing, shelter, and
transportation) are not taken into account. *They even shift the
goalposts around (which they call "hedonic regression") so that if
manufacturers add a new button to your TV, then CPI says it doesn't
cost any more, even if it does.


This isn't a Right vs. Left issue; it's the Money Party versus the
people. *(The Money Party leans hard to the right, though.)
