An open letter to the Fed

[mgray]

I was flabbergasted yesterday to hear Janet Yellen say it was a mystery to her and the other Federal Reserve committee members why inflation is so low.

Well I posted this letter to let her know what the great unwashed outside the Beltway are enduring during her tenure at the Fed.

Wow, you hit more than one nail on the head with that letter. Truth!

But you know she's lying, don't you ?

Of course she knows, really . . . ( well, in the academic sense, not because she's had a natter by the milk fridge ).

Norman I'm aware that she knows full well. Velocity of money is taught in Econ 101.

That's What makes it a bold-face lie to the American People and she should be called out on it.

John William's Shadow Stats has inflation at 6-9% when based on 1980 or 1990 method of determining it. How can Yellen not know this? The government under reports inflation to keep Social Security increases to a minimum. We are lied to constantly about everything.
