So, the inflation report wasn't a nothingburger, but it was sort of a White Castle slider — not a very big deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation somewhat higher than expected, but I don't think we should get too worked up about the prices of used cars https://t.co/vR7FnJraS2 — PolitiTweet.org

This may sometimes happen under hyperinflation conditions, when everyone is extremely sensitized to any hint of things getting even worse. But totally wrong for an economy with a history of relatively low inflation 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The point is not to bash Friedman; it is, instead, that Friedman was pushing the doctrine of immaculate inflation — the idea that a rising money supply leads directly to inflation even if there's a lot of slack in the economy 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

A forgotten moment in economic discourse: that multi-year period when Milton Friedman kept predicting runaway inflation even as price stability returned 1/ https://t.co/ljDq7fney3 https://t.co/dgGVQc1UwG — PolitiTweet.org

But M2 has been an even worse guide than headline inflation 4/ https://t.co/nsk8VcBxTQ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

We'll also, no doubt, be hearing a lot about M2 growth and the hyperinflation it portends. 3/ https://t.co/7ABVgUYgsk — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

But if there's one thing we should have learned from the past 15 years, it is that short-run fluctuations in headline inflation say nothing about underlying forces. Core inflation, by various measures, is a much better guide 2/ https://t.co/qV8EEkRw8H — PolitiTweet.org

CPI day; everyone expects a big inflation number, possibly higher than the almost 4% YoY in 2011 1/ https://t.co/u7EciD8PU6 — PolitiTweet.org

I've only been skimming the Cheney news; hadn't realized that they're claiming that her problem is not being pro-worker enough. More evidence that no lie is too absurd for the modern GOP https://t.co/rQck7hDCtK — PolitiTweet.org

Are there any former Trump officials who aren't completely insane? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Hey, that's not how it's supposed to work! You're supposed to win over voters by appealing to their fears and prejudices, not by, you know, actually doing a good job https://t.co/AMnaSlmEcP — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Nobody is quite sure what lies behind the April jobs miss. Bad seasonal adjustment? Labor supply issues? But if it was unemployment benefits, you'd expect the miss to be biggest in low-wage sectors, where UI has biggest impact. Reality: https://t.co/eJUtNgO4b2 — PolitiTweet.org

If you're going to assert that the Fed and most applied macroeconomists are idiots, maybe read a bit and look at some data first? 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

And M2 (and other monetary aggregates even less) has been a total bust at predicting inflation 2/ https://t.co/dRlGDWqNQn — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

So, hearing many monetary rants (a) denouncing core inflation (b) insisting that money supply determines inflation. But core inflation is a concept that has been immensely successful at extracting signal from noise 1/ https://t.co/gHAsI97VYQ — PolitiTweet.org
