If you feel that they are manipulated, sue the agency reporting them and prove your case in court.
What a curious concept - truth as something which has been proved in a court of law. As a litigator, I can assure you, well, maybe not you because you probably won't listen, but I can assure almost everyone else that the result in a court of law is what the trier of fact (judge in a bench trial, jury in a jury trial) believes, based on the evidence produced at trial. That doesn't make it true. If you are right, then O.J. Simpson both did and didn't kill his wife. The criminal jury found that he didn't, the civil jury found that he did.
To sue the United States government for manipulation of the PPI statistics, one must have standing. That means one must have been directly injured, and seeking redress. I suppose that a Social Security recipient or a federal retiree would have standing, not sure. If anyone who hasn't got a COLA because of government manipulation wants to sue, and is willing to pay the court costs, I'll consider handling the case pro bono, and try to get fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act. Send me a PM. Warning, the court costs will be high, you will need to hire an independent economist, or maybe several. |
