I believe Barack Obama was put into office to do what no Republican could ever have gotten away with. Obama has extend the wars, created new wars, extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich, given additional bail out money to the banks, allowed the health insurance industry to write the healthcare bill, extended the Patriot Act and signed the NDAA.

Let's talk Core CPI is it not the Core CPI that is used by U.S. Fed Reserve's decisions about U.S. Monetary Policy? And do they NOT leave out food and gas and such when making such decisions? ??? And while we are at it let's get into the fractional reserve system (FRS) too!

I don't know exactly which metrics the Federal Reserve uses when making decisions, but my assumption would be that they would weigh many, many data points. I think I've seen that they even look at purchases of men's ties and women's bras. I'm sure both CPI and core CPI are analyzed. And I'm also sure that they look very deep into both numbers--understanding why prices in each sector are either rising or falling.

To imply that the Federal Reserve policymakers are so lazy as to just use a single number in the analysis is beyond ridiculous.
