I'm not saying target oil prices. I'm saying consider them in the mix. If you think that oil demand is completely isolated from economic activity (and by extension, correlated to some extent with rates) then yer living on Mars. I personally think we're better off with higher energy prices, but they ARE to some degree a consequence of monetary inflation, all other things being equal. Which was my point...... EDIT: OK, you addressed it. My point is that energy and food don't deserve special treatment in the index, that it's done primarily for political reasons. That the "ex-items" are most significant to people who spend a larger proportion of disposable income on necessities, ie, "the poor", and it's another way of pushing their interests aside in favor of the rich, whoops...errr, "the greater good".
