Janet Yellen has no idea what she’s talking about

(From The New York Post)

In recent years, Yellen has become a poster child for being out of touch with Main Street.

Let’s start with the basics, like her interpretation of inflation — which she bases on the opaque and completely outdated model used for 20 years: the consumer price index.

Look at it this way. In the real world, three of the largest expenses nowadays for average American families are housing, health care and their kids’ college education.

And yet Yellen claimed there was essentially no inflation with this unschooled statement: “Inflation has been below 2 percent for many years.”

Sure, the CPI figures support that claim, but isn’t the Fed supposed to do its own research? A bad ruler is going to give a bad measurement every time.
