The Changes in the Consumer Price Index

BLS plans to update the spending weights in the calculation of CPI every year instead of every two years. Inflation is up still 4.3% and the new measurement inflation is down 1.9%. Do you see what they're doing? We don't have to know the negative stuff. Let's just stay positive. And that's how we're going to fix the economy by us staying positive. Nobody really knows what they're talking about, including myself. Everybody I talked to at Goldman at Morgan, everybody's telling you, nobody's been here before. They're all playing it by ears to see what was going to happen. Part of it is control, which you can control.
