Yup. The St. Louis Fed is a joke. Inflation of owners' equivalent rent alone blows the whole argument up..

I love that any time there’s a discussion about inflation, someone posts that link.

“If you would please look at the chart…” when it is known that inflation is a politically-charged figure that is indirectly manipulated to show much lower figures than the price increases the average person with average expenses (rent, car, fuel, food, etc.) experiences.

Let alone doing comparison of inflation over longer timespans. Garbage model in, garbage numbers out.
