The widespread suspicion that the government of President <fill in name> has manipulated inflation data ...

Right... the thread is on the right track. We had this discussion a while back...(see the last paragraph)

...benchmark inflation-linked bonds have tumbled 24 percent this year, making the country's debt market the worst performer in the world

Inflation is about double the official 8.6 percent rate, the result of a 35 percent jump in government spending this year, according to New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The rate may climb to 25 percent by year-end, Merrill Lynch says.


We need the same for the U.S. inflation measures...

Why is Goldman and Merrill silent on the topic of likewise faked US numbers?? Who told them to shut up?
