AND IT'S UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OFFICIAL MEASURES OVERSTATE IT:
No, inflation still isn't a problem (Jim Tankersley, January 16, 2013, Washington Post)
Know what's not a problem? Inflation.The Labor Department reported Wednesday morning that consumer prices were unchanged in December. So-called "core" prices - the better measure to watch, because they exclude volatile food and energy prices - rose by 0.1 percent. From December 2011 to December 2012, core prices rose by 1.9 percent.
Which makes demands for wage growth inane.
