i know of the Boskin BS. but still, what comes out of BLS lately, even if you consider the ridiculous methodology, is simply incredibly brazen in its reality disconnect.

i also recently read that the shelter component of the cpi seemingly reflects everything BUT reality.

we could just as well do away with BLS and publish a rough guess every month. it would be equally useful to gauge what's going on.
