REJOICE and BEHOLD: A Deluge of Better Than Expected Data Just Hit the Tape

Wall Street is yawning off a slew of better than expected rigged data out this morning, painting an effervescent economy that is fair and equitable to all and booming like a motherfucker.

CPI is running hot, to the point of  needing immediate Fed hikes. Also, housing starts have, all of a sudden, skyrocketed. Be sure to log into Zillow today: I’m quite sure the value of your home is flat to down in spite of these marvelous numbers.

Lastly, the Philly Fed came in better than expected as well — which is actual evidence that the renaissance is upon you. Do not listen to fake news sites that tell you otherwise.

Thank you.

    So… what are the “real” numbers saying. Like U6 instead of U2 (no Bono) …if there is such a metric.
    U3 for that matter.
