inflation vs. US government claims

Unless my memory is failing me, *everything* I spend money on has gone up.
Some of them have gone up quite a bit.

Yet, the official rate, as reported in the news on May 30th, 2008:

"Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core PCE price index, which
is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, rose by 0.1 percent
as expected, slowing from a 0.2 percent increase in March."


Thus, 0.1 percent per month would be 1.2% per year. I think this is another
example of our president's manipulating government agencies to say what he
wants them to say.

By falsely reporting inflation, they can reduce the cost of living
adjustment (COLA), which is used by Social Security and many union
contracts.

Also, it is an election year.

Hello QN hello A.S.S.

The same about does the goverment here in Greece. The inflation index runs
with a rate of 4.5 % as they claim. Pasta has raised in a year at least 50%
gas motor oil has raised above 20% with the international oil prices
"jumping" from below 1$ to 1.30 $ and the parallel rize of euro to dollar
exchange ratio (its somewhere about 1.55 dollars buys 1 euro) and other
every day goods rized above 10 % and that inflation index is still that low
at 4.5 %! They take the mickey out of us I think! Bush in my humble opinion
is a felon for the lies he told the american people for Irak and Iran and
because he squadered money that american people needed so mutch for their
own good (social security etc) in a war for oil which is a hoax. These money
could be put in research in various areas (including schizophrenia) to make
peoples lives better. And what he did? He and his gang? They kills hundreds
of thousends of Iraqi people and thousends of young I supose americans
excluding the other victims that are going to live disabled physically or
mentally from the iraqi and the americans. And they trimed down the human
rights of americans and other people of the globe with the alibis of
terrorism. In my country and many other countries made anti-terrorist laws
in the measures of the american anti-terrorist law which reduced the
american people freedom. So we have a global freedom reduction. I think we
live in something like a globar junta run by that felon George W. Bush Jr
which in my humble opinion should be brought to justice as the other
criminals of WWII and such as Milosewitch which was brought in front of the
Haagen (if I spell it wrong please correct me) international criminal court.
We people have to kick some asses there

Time to take out and ponder, I think to myself occasionally as much that the
time that another person would've been to place a harness on an ox and till
the land, which is priceless.

But how many voters...
