This clip proves my thought that Family Guy is an amazing TV Show….
When they start mocking “Peanut butter jelly time” you know it has to be good!!!
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.

The funny thing is that it spiked our traffic for the monday after the episode aired because we’re still pretty high up in Google for Peanut Butter Jelly Song.
