Er kam rein und sagte, ich weiß, dass du mich wahrscheinlich über die Person reden möchtest, aber mein Charakter ist der Konsumpreisindex. Er sagte, es ist grundlegend für das Vereinigte Staates, dass es Dinge zählt. Es kann keine Macht zählen, ohne dass es Menschen für einen Zensus zählt. Und es ist in der Verfassung geschrieben.

Und das Vereinigte Staates ist der größte Zähler von Dingen in der Welt. Und was es zählt, ist unglaublich. Und es bietet im Grunde Porträte unserer Gesellschaft und der Gesellschaft anderer Menschen mit sehr vorsichtigem Statistik-Kollektion und Analyse.

And he just takes one of these things, the CPI, and shows just how hard it is to do this well, just what a monumental achievement it is, and just actually, incidentally, how at risk it would be in nefarious hands. We trust it. We just assume that whoever is doing it is doing their best.

Well, if we don't actually know what inflation is, I mean, for a start, the Federal Reserve won't know how to adjust policy. I mean, it will sow confusion into the minds of people. People will have to kind of guess what was happening with prices. You know, that in and of itself, it'd be interesting to see what happened if you just actually totally politicized it.

There are no hints that they're thinking this way. They fired a bunch of experts who helped the Department of Labor Statistics investigate.

So that's right out of the Trump playbook, that if you want to know what he's going to do, see what he's accusing other people of doing. Usually falsely. He's a master of bearing false witness. He operates within the limits of his imagination. His imagination is spurred by the awful things he can imagine other people doing. It's usually fantasy. He's had the idea then, that oh, you can do this.

And oh, in my mind, they've already done it, so I can go do it. That's sort of the psychology of it. Und das ist die Psychologie, die dazu führen würde, wie du es sagst, wie sie anfangen, etwas zu machen, was sie machen wollen. Wenn du das Bild der Gesellschaft verlierst, kannst du es nicht umsetzen. Ich meine, das ist das eine.

Aber in Bezug auf die Inflation, sagen wir mal, wir wussten plötzlich, dass sie es nur umsetzen. Und sie hatten die Kontrolle über den Geldverbrauch, sodass die Federal Reserve nicht mehr unabhängig ist. I think what happens is it becomes self-fulfilling. We're panicking and grabbing at ways to sort of preserve the value of our dollars.
