Default Re: sppartenburg ron paul forum underway

Several problems with the link:

The quoted inflation rate for the first 7 months is either incorrect or carefully chosen from the various inflation statistics to present a worst case scenario. The index used for most purposes is the All Urban index, which showed a 2.6% increase, not 3.4%.

He then equates "volatile" with "rising faster". What distinguishes more from less volatile prices is that they fluctuate up and down rather than show pretty much monotonic increases.

He then inserts the typical Austrian claptrap of government conspiracies to "prove" an intent to deceive. Guess what, if you assume something, it cant be used to prove anything.

As mosdef surmised before the link was posted, its a lot of assertions and suppositions.
