Confused about inflation?
Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics gathers 84,000 prices in about 200 categories — like gasoline, bananas, dresses and garbage collection — to form the Consumer Price Index, one measure of inflation. It’s among the statistics that the Federal Reserve considered when it cut interest rates on Wednesday.

- In light of the mainstream media’s continued refusal to cover the issues that confront America, I give you this classic moment
-
America gets the media it deserves.I guess it deserves sh*t right now.I don’t get the chance to watch a lot of CNN/Fox/MSNBC anymore, but what I do catch is frankly garbage. It’s all about “the race” and not about the issues that matter. Unless there’s a missing white girl, then even “the race” gets second billing.

- What Is A Lowball Offer?
-
I suggested a topic on the moving target that is a lowball offer. “Conventional wisdom claims that lowball offers don’t work. Homebuyers are warned not to ‘insult’ sellers, who are counseled not to counter offers from ‘disrespectful’ buyers. But conventional wisdom doesn’t always hold true. With a severe slowdown in sales, some experts now offer new advice. What is a lowball offer?”
