cheaper PC bad for GDP, costlier gasoline good for GDP
leave to it the govt to be in charge of kooky statistics
and then comes the bad measurement
on top of bad decisions on components to include
and price consideration

however, a real good Deflator Index incorporated
far more accurate than the Consumer Price Index
at 3.3% we have some mild inflation to deal with
I expect this figure to rise
and the CPI to overreport inflation next month
mainly because it is a shitty measure with too much energy built in
