Taken from today's FED statement:
"Dr. Bernanke, housing only accounts for 18% of Personal Consumption Expenditures, but it has a 42% weighting in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index. Because house prices have been depressed in the wake of the housing bust, some analysts are saying that the CPI inflation rate understates the real price inflation that is taking place elsewhere, such as in food and hard commodities. Is housing weighted too heavily in the CPI?"
"Dr. Bernanke, since 2008 you have more than tripled the size of the monetary base, and yet you continue to insist that inflation remains low. Are you confusing consumer prices with the standard economic definition of inflation of the money supply?"
Follow up question please....Household spending and business investment in equipment and software continue to expand. However, investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector continues to be depressed.

Oh...and one more if you don't mind sir...Inflation has picked up in recent months, but longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable and measures of underlying inflation are still subdued.

Now those are two very good questions and I hope they are asked but, alas, I doubt they will be.

Thanks.

What a bunch of ingrates. Just for that, I hope none of you gets a toaster for opening an account with your first weekly $10,000,000,000 unemployment check in the next couple of years. Or your first monthly $776.37 Social Security check, adjusted for the cost of living increases.
