Bill Ackman blasts CPI calculation, says inflation now in double-digits

"The inflation that households are actually experiencing is raging and well in excess of reported government statistics," says Bill Ackman, noting Owners’ Equivalent Rent - which yesterday officially posted a 3.5% Y/Y increase - falls woefully short of describing what's actually happening in the real world. Ackman reminds that the country's largest single-family landlords are reporting 17% Y/Y gains in rent.Why does it matter? Well, OER accounts for 24% of the headline inflation calculation and 30% of core CPI, so it's kind of important to get it right. If the statisticians at the BLS incorporated reality into their models, the core rate of inflation in the U.S. would be 9%, rather than the 4.9% reported yesterday. The headline rate would be 10.1% vs. the 6.8% reported.
