"Americans are struggling with soaring food and energy prices that the federal government conveniently chooses to ignore in its measure of inflation in order to hide the true effects of its policies from the American people." - Ron Paul

Lie #1: the federal govt ignores food and energy prices when calculating inflation.

The headline inflation number reported every month includes food and energy. The labor department also reports "core inflation" which excludes food and energy.

Lie #2: Food and energy prices are soaring.

Core inflation which excludes food and energy is higher than headline inflation. Once you include food and energy, you have a lower, not higher, rate of inflation.

Headline Inflation:

Core Inflation

Annual Core is Higher than Annual Headline

Ron Paul is a Liar

ROTF!

What part of Ron Paul's quote, "Americans are struggling with soaring food and energy prices that the federal government conveniently chooses to ignore in its measure of inflation in order to hide the true effects of its policies from the American people.", don't you understand?!

What RP is talking about is in relation to the REAL inflation rate (which nobody knows for sure exactly what it is right now), not the OFFICIAL inflation rate, which is being ARTIFICIALLY manipulated. Nor is RP distinguishing between the core or headline (OFFICIAL) inflation rates in his comments above.

Also, the value of Gold is STILL 500% higher than it was 10-12 years ago...

Without further ado, BESTOWMENT #22...

And the ARTIFICIAL recovery continues...
