Saw the M3 censoring policy change. Thought it was real ominous myself.
1. There is only one reason to hide data, the data isn't good. It is not a good reason
2. The USA has always been a free and open society. One reason why we are the last superpower standing. Not seeing why the Fed. has to fix what isn't broken. What's wrong with telling the truth?
3. The government statistics in general, especially the COLA linked CPI inflation index seem more and more to be statistical artifacts rather than anything measuring the real world. In science, this is known as GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. In my biz, when that happens, the bodies start piling up, not metaphorically but literally.
If anyone knows what reason or excuse the Fed. used, post it. Stuff happens for a reason, the law of cause and effect. Since we pay these guys salaries and they work for us, (that democracy taxpayer thingy), an explanation is in order.
