<David, you are making a brave effort to explain the real impact of hedonic pricing to the thread, but I am afraid it will fall on deaf ears. I know, I have tried already many times. It's very hard to argue with conspiracy theorists. > ROFLMAO... As it turns out, his final conclusion hardly exonerates the practice from what I can see... correct me if I missed something somebody.

K: It's also hard to argue with folks who understand that GDP OUGHT to represent what is actually produced and sold, and not what someone conjures up from thin air. The economic stats currently being produced by the U.S. government bring on nausea at this end. Even the Fed has stated that they are not to be believed. Amen to that. By the way, "Only in America" sure holds true for much of this garbage. Show me any other jurisdiction on the planet that goes to such deceptive lengths. Best, Earlie
