Gas prices keep inflation tame, push confidence to four-year high - latimes.com



Cheaper gas also helped boost consumer confidence in May to its highest level in four years. A preliminary index compiled by Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan climbed to 77.8 from last month’s 76.4, reaching a point not seen since January 2008.

That’s the ninth straight monthly rise.

Still, Obama is an idiot and total fuck up that should never have been elected in the first place.

This is true, it will be the greatest stimulus of all!! We've had an anti -business president during the worst business recession in our country. There was no way that was going to turn out well.

Obama took over, the Dow was at around 7,800, today it's over 13,000.

Obama took over and the nation was losing jobs at an alarming rate. Now? Jobs are starting to grow in the private sector.

Got news for you, the economy is improving, and if the GOP doesn't get some talking points about what is REALLY going on rather than the empty rhetoric they've been spewing, they're gonna keep screaming about a bad economy while the rest of us can see that it's improving.

Yeah...........keep running on the economy GOP, it's gonna bite you in the ass later this summer when unemployment drops to somewhere in the 7.something percent, while the stock market gets stronger.

 

[Truthmatters]

So let me get this straight.

Your guy crashes the economy with his deregulation.

You blame Obama.

Obama has to stimulate the economy to get it moving.

You guys blame him for causing debt.

The stimulus works after you guys complain non stop about it.

You claim the economy is growing only because Obama is in an election year.

Except of course when you claim against all facts that the economy isnt growing.

Then you forgive assault because it was your guy who did it.

Gas prices keep inflation tame, push confidence to four-year high - latimes.com

Food and Energy prices aren't used in the calculation of inflation because they are considered too volatile. That's why you referenced a POLL rather than any actual inflation information.

FAIL.

From the Fed Reserve Bank of San Fran-sicko:
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco: Economic Research, Educational Resources, Community Development, Consumer and Banking Information

One common way economists use inflation data is by looking at “core inflation,” which is generally defined as a chosen measure of inflation (e.g., the Consumer Price Index or CPI, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index or PCEPI, or the Gross Domestic Product Deflator) that excludes the more volatile categories of food and energy prices.

OMG!!!! Liberalism is based on pure perfect stupidity!!

1) he wants to raise taxes on business so they will have less to invest and grow the economy!!

2) he is in the process of taking over 18% of the economy, from business, because he is an anti business socialist who had two socialist parents and voted to the left of Bernie Sanders!!

Is any conclusion besides pure ignorance possible???

 

[Mr. H.]

Obama's proposed budget contains a minimum of $47 billion in taxes on the oil and gas industries. He's counting on this money to give away to his reneables/alternatives pet projects.

he also has a huge tax on medical device manufactures so they will be able to invest in fewer new medical devices for us.

The CPI-U and the CPI-W, one of which is uses for COLA, includes energy and food. It always has and it always does.

The Federal Reserve, for it's particular purposes, needs a measure that best matches the long term trend.

All you've found is that there are multiple measures of inflation, each used for different purposes. Some remove the things that swing wildly. "Core" means what it implies, the very center of inflation.

Regardless, all the measures of inflation, including the CPI and the PCE, accurately track the long term trend in inflation.

Common Misconceptions about the Consumer Price Index: Questions and Answers

"Has the BLS removed food or energy prices in its official measure of inflation?

No. The BLS publishes thousands of CPI indexes each month, including the headline All Items CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the CPI-U for All Items Less Food and Energy. The latter series, widely referred to as the "core" CPI, is closely watched by many economic analysts and policymakers under the belief that food and energy prices are volatile and are subject to price shocks that cannot be damped through monetary policy. However, all consumer goods and services, including food and energy, are represented in the headline CPI.

Most importantly, none of the prominent legislated uses of the CPI excludes food and energy. Social security and federal retirement benefits are updated each year for inflation by the All Items CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Individual income tax parameters and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) returns are based on the All Items CPI-U. "
