I’m already tired of the blame game. Fact is that no one looks good in the preparations going into Katrina. I just think it’s silly to focus on satellite photos of school buses or funding cuts for levee repair right now. The focus (and any criticism) should be focused on saving lives and getting supplies in. We need a dispassionate appraisal of what everyone could’ve done better later. Not now.

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.
