[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] OK, re-reading, good article, even tho i said he's full of it.. here's his flawed assertion IMO [i]This undeniable manipulation of reality (i.e. propoganda) caused institutional money managers to buy government bonds at lower interest rates, because such fund managers are required in their prospectus to invest their clients' money in bonds as long as the CPI is lower than the bonds' interest rate.[/i] i absolutely agree that CPI has been manipulated.. but i see the reasons as very different as stated above.. there's other reason for them to do it too.. COLA- cost of living allownces go up in govt/military pay... people in the private sector ask for bigger raises... higher pay does balance out the cost side of infaltion equation, allowing infaltion to go up... the main reason that "official" inflation has been relatively low is that they lie about the CPI and pay doesn't go up.. i just don't see the motive as being to force people to buy bonds..
