I'm going to leave this to someone else to explain how economics work. I simply cannot break it down more.
Yes, when in any kind of crisis, like inflation, a shorter period of measurement will reflect positive or negative policy change. Since CPI is one of two ways we measure the impact of inflation, it makes sense.
As of now, it appears Joe Biden is the first president in history to manage us out of inflation.
Inflation is not a recession. It's counter-intuitive to laymen. In other words, slightly raising interest rates, helps keep inflation from rising or a slip into a recession. High employment numbers are not good for inflation. However, Joe is finding a way.
Again economics.

Puke! Can I gif this without being called a copycat?

Pretty sure I read Mac argue that Johnson laid the groundwork for Reagans inflation win. The data is the data is the data. How CPI is measured is primarily a function of the narrative they want to tell and is disconnected from actual inflation. There was ZERO need to change the formula unless you are trying to change the story. Again, if they can only accurately plan the future of the economy based on one year's worth of data it would be fair to conclude that those changes are not going to be accurate out beyond a year. The problem is that the time horizons we are talking about are multi year to decades.

Feeling all warm and fussy cause ya got ya way - still PUSSY way ta go !!!!!

Nope, not at all. You saw the attacks ... I suggested several times we back away. Some people don't listen or like being told. And there are times when "reaction scores" are important, but NOT to attack other members.

The King couldn't get anyone to volunteer to be a messenger for his army because most the time the enemy would ki.ll the messenger and send him back to the King."
moral: Attack the message, not the messenger.

... and you'd be as usual.

Until you're dealing with inflation or high gas prices or a recession. All by products of capitalism without restraints.
Then you want the government to do something. Ask blkdlaur, he couldn't stop crying about gas prices and bread prices. It's almost as if they want a socialist big government controlling the prices of the private sector or something. We have inflation because consumers continue to buy at those prices.

We have inflation because the government printed more money and then they have begun to tinker with supply aide economics by reducing our ability to produce our own oil and also selling our reserve supply. You are not good at this.

For more on what causes inflation, our friendly economist Milton Friedman has this to say:
"Inflation Is Created by Government and by No One Else."

Reagan, tripled the national debt and spent us out.
I thought we learned our lesson on that. Maybe not. You ready to let Joe double the debt? It will be great.

I just want the government to do less of everything minus national defense.

The largest percentage increase in national debt was democrats and the largest actual dollar increase was democrats. How far back are we trying to go here?

Also, the answer is no, governments cause inflation so I am super cool with them not spending money or doing anything.

 

[C&J Morton]

WHINING Mac apparently got his way

PUSSYNESS on PARADE

 

[C&J Morton]

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Democrats are not saying s'hit.
Not rumors. The blogger she was fucking kept proof. AND this is the GOP doing.

 

[C&J Morton]

You know they love playing the "victims" ... reminds me of the Republican congress.

And don't forget the Star Wars folly where Reagan spent BILLIONS on a scam with Russia. What I always wondered is WHERE did all that money they spent on an non-existing Star Wars machine actually go!?

 

[C&J Morton]

So, the good news is really bad news?
What are you talking about it moved from a two year average to a one year average???
It measures inflation over a period of time. You have to go year to year. Two years doesn't make sense or give an accurate reading.
And, your conclusion is it's a lie? Based on...
