Harking back to how fake, and abjectly so, official US economic data is there's non-government organisations who track and publish what they would be today if they were measured as they were until wholesale changes were made to artificially manipulate them lower that begun in increments during the 1980s. The Chapwood Index http://www.chapwoodindex.com/ concentrates on inflation by tracking annual price changes in 500 goods and services in 50 US cities. As mentioned, Trump bragged how low inflation was last week while he knows full well practically all his fellow citizens are becoming poorer at an alarming rate. The big surprise is that only an estimated half a million of them are homeless.
