This is the one area I hope Obama or Clinton takes a strong look at when they become President. No, not the war planning, though that would be nice, too. I hope the next President recognizes the harm from aggressive classification of otherwise unclassified studies and information. This administration is too secretive for political reasons, and that makes having honest, real discussions about policy impossible.

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.
