As a new Fed Chair casts doubt on offical statistics after the Aministration drastically cut their funding, it is worth remembering how and why we created federal statistics agencies in the first place...they reduce scope for gaslighting the public www.aeaweb.org/articles/pdf...

A burly Ku Klux Klan member in white robes with the signature red cross sits atop a heap of dirt marked The South, holding a noose in one hand and a copy of the Louisiana v. Callais decision of the United States Supreme Court. Next to him is a small crow, wearing a MAGA-red hat that's labelled "Jim." In big, evocative letters, the Klan member declares, "I'm Back Baby!!"

Troubling development--Core PCE inflation was hot in Jan at 0.36% m/m & 3.1% y/y BUT it would have been even hotter had BEA not shifted its source data in an ad hoc fashion to avoid showing an 11.9% m/m rise in legal fees shown in the CPI. The BEA acknowledged they made this choice...not a good look
