Re: >>>Prices of assets that can be leased are always linked to consumption patterns. However, lease prices are growing at a much slower pace than real estate prices throughout the boom. When you have the real thing, why use the proxy?<<< Yes. That's what I'd like to know. Answer: The government is using the proxy of "lease rates" to scam those receiving govt. payments out of adequate cost of living adjustments. >>>Keep an eye on the proxy - sure - and the Fed is doing that. But don't use it in the measure.<<< Yes. Exactly. Go back to using the real thing. >>>And we were talking of the measurement of CPI.<< Yes. We were. The above response to DAK implies that you agree with my argument. Do you even know what your argument is at this point?
